Hi dear,               After going through your query it looks you are having severe anxiety related to death.start doing deep breathing exercise daily.before going to sleep you should do some meditation , you lie down in bed and starting from  foot come upwards feeling that every part of your body  is relaxed.then feel that mind is relaxed and enter sleep. i usually prescribe clonazepam for initial period to patients visiting my clinic along with paroxetine.
