You have placed your faith in the One Who holds the keys to life.
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of
all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

Every single day goes by and I cannot enjoy my time spent because I am thinking of what comes after death. Yes, Heaven comes after, but I have no idea what that is like, and I love this mortal world that I'm in right now. I enjoy being with the people I love, I even love the nonbelievers. I can't stop feeling sad or down, sometimes suicidal.

You do notice the contradiction right? Not pointing it out to be mean, but to bring to light that there is something wrong. You can't stop thinking of death, out of fear of what is after, then saying you know what is after. Then go on to say how much you love this world, but are thinking of killing yourself. So your response is to do the thing you're afraid of and leave behind all that you want to stay with. This is evidence that your thoughts are not health.
We don't know all the details of heaven, true. And i understand your reluctance due to that. But we do know that whether houses or mansions or whatever, Jesus has gone ahead of us to ensure we all have amazing places to live. We know that we will be surrounded by people we love. Surrounded by angels and the light and love of God Himself.
For myself, one thing that helps my anxiety of what heaven is like, is the lyrics to this song...
Bring them to life
Without hate, without pain
Without suffering insane
Without death, without fire
Without lies that feed the liar
Without war, without games
Without fear to take the blame
Without fame, without power
Without drugs that heal the coward
Without violence, without rape
Without sickness, without plagues
Without judgment, without crime
Without hope, without time
Without two, and without three
Without torture over belief
Bring us love
Let us see
Set us free

No point worrying about something that can't be avoided, it is a waste of energy. In life we have to deal with certain things and that is just part of the deal. The fact is not even God escaped death -- Jesus Christ was God manifested in flesh and died on the cross, therefore, God too tasted death just like one of us.
Matthew 1:23(NKJV) 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Here is the thing about anxiety, the more you dwell on it the worse it gets, so better to change focus elsewhere. Really, it is time to toughen up and start facing these fears head on otherwise they will just put you into further bondage. So, you have choice to lay down or to man up and take care of business -- up to you.
