awesomeusername Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 For the longest I can remember, since I was a little kid, I have had this weird feeling that I won't make it past a certain age. I'm 25 but I feel like I will die young, before I'm 30. I don't know why. I would love to get married and have kids one day but I honestly can't see myself as that person. I just can't imagine my future, and when I do it goes black. I just feel like something bad will happen, I'll get a serious illness, or get in a car accident or even murdered... Am I weird? What is this feeling? Link to post Share on other sites

What is this feeling? You should just stop whining and be happy you have enjoyed 25 years of life. There are children who are actually dying who whine less than you. And if you really feel your days are growing thin then you shouldn't waste time on here. Link to post Share on other sites

What is this feeling? No you aren't weird. I think we all at one time or another worry about our future. Just don't allow fear to control you or the decisions you make for your life. When my daughter was born she was beautiful I was so afraid someone would kidnap her. Those thoughts consumed me till I had to get them out of my head and enjoy my precious baby. Live your life. Fill it with love not fear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What is this feeling? I had the same feeling. I always believed my life would end before I was 40. I think this sort of feeling might be related to our inability to see ourselves in future. Beyond a certain point we can't imagine ourselves at that age. So maybe this brings on a sense of fatality. But in a strange way my life did end at 40. Over the course of about two years almost everything about my life changed. My closest lifelong friend died, my wife went nuts, my parents died, and what was left of my family has fallen apart. So was my sense of an early death a premonition masked in metaphor? I have wondered at times. But more likely, life just sucks sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

What is this feeling? Could you possibly explore where this feeling came from? I ask this because my mother felt that she would not live much past 40. The root was due to her mother passing on at 44 years of age. I used to hear her talk about this and it brought great fear to me as a child. Have you have a lot of trauma in your life? If so, this will cause what I've bolded. I completely understand, it's difficult for me to see my future also. Link to post Share on other sites

With all due respect MJ, OP is not whining, but being real. What you are saying is the truth, there are soooo many going through much worse, even very tragic situations. We must empathise with those situations and must be grateful and appreciate each and every minute...although we must remember not to minimise our plights and deal with them as the OP is.
