    Have you tried seeing a therapist? I have the same worries as you, along with many others, and I see a therapist which really helps me a lot.

    it sounds like you are suffering from depression (that's just my opinion) and I think the best advice would be to consult your GP. I am a great believer that sharing your fears with someone else is the best way forward. I bet there's lots of people going through the same as you so maybe there's a self help group you could join

    Very possible you have anxiety and or a mood disorder. I have the same thoughts. I even cry because I want my 5 children to be children again. It's like they are gone. I fear death and the older I get the more depressed I get about it. Never seeing my kids or family seems to be an unwelcome focus in my life. You need to get this under control because I know by the way your're describing yourself, you will not survive a loss in your family. I know at this point, when my mom and dad go, a big part of me will disappear and very unlikely not come back. I don't think I will be able to handle that loss and may withdraw and lose myself from within. Seek help and don't stop until you find it. I found it once. Lost it because of a brain injury, but I'm not about to give up. Figure out what's making you unhappy as well. There could be something in your life that is not making life enjoyable.

    Hello,

    Therapy would be good to discuss your fears.

    Try to occupy your mind with more positive thoughts and maybe meditation.

    Peace 🙏

    You may be rest assured that you this thought goes through everybody's mind at one time or another, especially if you have an anxiety disorder. If we all go through life dwelling on it then what is the point of living? You have to forget about it, put it out of your mind. No matter what age you are you still have a lot of living to do so make the most of it, embrace it, think how lucky you are that you can enjoy doing what you like best. You could speak to your doctor about your fears and arrange for counseling, that may help you.😊

    I'm right there with you on this one. I've worried about death since having my very first panic attack at 14...I'm now 36. I think about it all the time. Sometimes I'm in an okay place with it and can conquer my fears and live life, other times it can be debilitating. I think there is something to be said about people like us...we naturally think of the worst case scenerio as our default, which means 1) We are always vigilant of possible danger, and 2) we tend to really appreciate the days that we can overcome our constant fear and do a little living...even if its something mundane. I would suggest if possible a therapist to help with kind of getting you in a better place where you can recognize these feelings and still have the ability to go out and live your life. I, myself am in need of the same at the moment. About every few years I need another sort of "grounding" with a therapist to bring me back to a manageble state. Good luck to you.
