I know there won’t be anything to comfort me. My biggest fear is losing my mother. Im 16 and she’s 50 so it’s inevitable. That scares me so bad. I cry daily and I don’t even feel like myself. I’m on Zoloft now but what can that help. I’m worried about things that WILL happen. I hate this so much. Life has been such a pain. I know I sound crazy but I can’t take this. It scares me to know that it won’t be too long till she’s old and frail and then I’ll def be worried. I’m so stressed I feel terrible. I can’t even describe how I feel. My mom is my best friend and the only one who cheers me up. What will I do when she’s gone? I’m such a wreck right now. I can’t even remember the last time I was happy. It scares me to know I’ll have to be alive for a long time without her.

I used to worry about the same thing when I was 16. All day and all night. Everything just seemed so unfair and awful and sad and I couldn't see anything feeling different or changing. But I promise you and I am 100% sure about this that as you grow and experience things your thought patterns will change and things won't seem quite as devastating as they once did. It's like you're seeing things for the first time and it all hits you pretty hard but as you get older things don't seem like such a big deal. Of course your parents getting older is hard to watch but you have quite a long while before your mother gets frail. That's another thing, as you get older you realize how young 50 actually is! I know that seems silly when you're 16 but it's true. My mom is 66 and teaches dance lessons, stays out all hours of the night and runs a daycare by herself. She's vacationing with her boyfriend right now. I don't see any of this changing anytime soon. By the time your mom is old and frail I promise you that it will seem as if you've lived a whole adult lifetime with her, you will be more relaxed and at ease with the flow of life and everything will be ok. Try and trust the flow of life. It's hard to see now but just allow for the possibility that you will not always feel that life is so terrible. You won't. Just give it time.

Hey, being 16 brings its own stress and at this age our body continues to change and mature, you're going through anxiety and bringing a lot on your young shoulders when there is no need i know thats easier said than done but you're mum is still young at 50, my parents are 60 and still loving life, Your mum doesn't want to see you unhappy turn the frown upside down and enjoy life enjoy your relationship with you're mum make great memories together but try and escape from these thoughts, you're only 16 and you need to look after yourself too. Take care and you can talk to me anytime on here. Fight the negatives with the positives.
