Ok, I'm going to first say that I am a major hypochondriac and assume every lingering pain is a tumor or something like that. However, I constantly have this fear I am going to just die! This talk of Natasha Richardson makes me think what if I have an aneurysm and die? What if someone in my family does? I've always had a fear of having one since I heard about a girl my age who died from a brain aneurysm but now this fear is coming back.

I'm wondering, does anyone else get scared that they or someone you love is going to drop dead suddenly? :scared1:
 
I'm always terrified that I'm going to die any day for no reason at all. That's why I'm thankful for each and every day I'm still living.
 
I am extremely worried about my health since my diagnosis. I've been having some headaches (which are normal side effects of chemo - even after) but I'm still convinced I have a brain tumor.
Weird aches and pains make me thing "oh no another tumor!" or "oh *bleep* something's wrong".

It's one of my major faults.
 
Yeah.
I have a REALLY bad fear of my mom dying.
She's my best friend and if she dies I have to live with my dad.
My mom's my support system, if I lose her I'd feel dead.
 
Unexpected death scares me.
I've always been a hypochondriac to an extent with my own body. If I think somethings wrong, I get nervous. My mom's had to talk me out of a lot of thoughts I've had.
 
My mom was my ROCK when I was sick, and she still is. One of her famous lines is "I'm not scared, why should you be?".
 
Yeah.

I'm not close with my dad and he's 64 and supposedly sick (long story) so if my mom dies I honestly don't know what I'll do. She's 55 and every year I just get more and more scared something will happen to her. If she died I'd probably be like you and just feel dead. I just have this horrible fear of being parentless by the time I'm 30.

Sonya, I would be a complete basket case if I had already had cancer like you and started to have a pain here or there...I'd probably be calling the dr everyday.

Not everyday, more like every few weeks lol. Ditto to the mom thing. If my mom died unexpectedly, I'd be screwed.
 
I'm very very afraid that something is going to happen to my grandma or grandpa sometime soon. They joke about when they "kick the bucket" but they are seriously the ones I always go to when I'm sad. I don't even have to talk, if I'm just sitting out with them on the porch I would feel better. (They have no signs of anything wrong, but they're just getting older and it's scary)

My mom is really the one I go to if I want to feel stronger. She's a very strong person and if I feel beat she makes me know that what I think I can't do is easy and I can do it. If she's sad or sick it's really hard on me because I feel like if something happens to her, it happens to me. It just means she's not immune to life like I think she is and it really changes on how I see her. (Not in a bad way, just in a real way)
I'm not close to my dad's so it would be very hard if something was to happen to her.

If my brother would die I would probably be hysterical even though I complain about how bugging he is. (I'm sure everyone with siblings knows how it goes.) We make fun of each other, we take anger out on each other, the whole brother/sister relationship.

I've actually pictured everyone in my life dying and tried to figure out how I would cope. I've tried to learn to accept that something might happen and be with them as long as I can. Because you just never know what will happen and I feel that when/if something does happen I'll be able to deal with it better than me trying to deal with it all of a sudden. (I don't dwell on it, but it does come into my mind every once in awhile.)

Anyways, yeah I'm kind of a hypochondriac. I think every little bump is cancer and sometimes when I feel really bad I'm afraid to go to sleep because I think I might not wake back up.

My dad's supposedly sick as well, but I dont even talk to him or see him anymore. I feel bad, but it would be way awkward to start with him now. I'm terrified of my grandparents dying. My grandma is 80 and my grandpa is 87, all 3 of his siblings have passed within the last 10 years. I know if my grandparents die, a piece of my mom will go. Honestly, ugh..I dont even want to think about it.

I'm just terrified of my family dying. It scares me so much.
 
I would be a mess if my parents or grandparents died. They are just so much of a support system to me that it just would not be a good situation.

I dont have siblings, so I'll move on to my best friend. If she suddenly died, a huge piece of me would die too. I would just be devastated and a basket case and in hysterics. I would probably go in my room, turn the lights out, and not come out for a month.

And I am somewhat of a hypochondriac. I'm not too bad, but if I think somethings wrong, I will definitely be letting someone know about it.

That's exactly how it is with my dad. It's awful but I don't know how to go about seeing him. He is bipolar and makes things so emotionally difficult.

My grandparents are all gone. I was never close to my dad's mom and my dad's dad died when I was 1. I was very close to my grandma...she died in 2000 of stomach cancer. My grandpa died in 2004 from lung cancer. It was hard to go through and I know my mom misses my grandma a lot...it's tough. :hug:

My dad is too. When I would talk to him when I was younger he would always be super nice but then a couple days later he would swing down and be the complete opposite. It sparked so many fights between us.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. :hug: I pray every day that my grandparents can live for a long time, and be healthy. They basically raised me alongside my mom, I hope for them to see me graduate high school, get into college, and possibly get married.
