I may have started sarcastic but I believe I had some good advice tucked away in there. It starts scary but it gets better. I guess when I de converted I was so busy being afraid of other things that when I finally had time to think about the meaning of my life I was already over being scared or worried.
I have become a cynic, I guess. I read your question and I expected some theist to tell me I have no reason to go on living if I don't believe in god. So, sorry for making assumptions.
Try to stay calm. Think of all things you enjoy about life and the ways others can make them even more enjoyable. Think of the people you love and what they enjoy, and think of how you can help them find even more joy in their lives. You can give your own life meaning. Be patient the scariness will fade.
