I honestly feel the same about the whole "trapped in eternal darkness" part of death. Obviously, like Vinyboiler said, you won't process any of it because that requires a functioning brain. But I do relate heavily. Death is kind of a double edge sword for me. On one hand I often yearn for it because I feel like a genuinely worthless and useless human being who's life and death will ultimately mean nothing. But on the other, death is such a scary thought mostly due to the permanency of it. Once you're gone, your doneso. But I would say that's all the more reason to live your best life - whatever that may entail for you personally.
I used to worry about this and sometimes it still does effect me but I quickly remind myself that none of my concerns will matter anymore when I eventually and ultimately die. I won't have a brain left to think with.
The concept you are thinking about is nonexistence but you wont see dark because that would require a brain, you would go back to how you were before you were conceived. I struggle with the thought sometimes of if there is a afterlife. I think though from the puposes of someone living it would not be wise to dwell on the concept of nonexistence. Either there is some kind of afterlife and you'll feel you've wasted a large part of your life caring or you are 'dead' and never will think again so it will ultimately wont matter. Even if there is a 0.000000000001 chance you have a spiritual existence, why not have hope?
