Premonition of death? Or lack of sleep?

Hello, I have been severely depressed for 4 weeks, experiencing near constant fear of death almost 24 hours a day and unable to sleep, getting only a maximum of 2 hours of sleep per night for the past 4 weeks. Now, for the past few days, I have been experiencing strange phenomena, such as feeling and believing that my body is no longer there and that I will die soon due to my illness and lack of sleep. I perceive my surroundings as strange, as if I cannot connect with them, and my sensory perceptions are getting weaker day by day, barely seeing, feeling, or hearing anything. Is this a sign of impending death? I feel extremely weak and my life force is dwindling. Is this delusion due to lack of sleep? Or am I actually dying due to lack of sleep? Is there a disease where sensory perceptions decrease hour by hour and day by day, leading to imminent death?
