I don't want to downplay the negative effect it had on you and the difficulty you're having integrating the experience, but it's possible that long term, confronting those thoughts and feelings directly and coming through the other side will end up being better for you.

Everyone has to confront their own mortality eventually.

I am not sure whether this is actually true, or whether the rumination and pondering will mess me up more

Well, hopefully you can come to some resolution about what it all means. I went through something similar after a bad trip and it made me focus on what’s important to be doing in life with the time I have left.
