I keep thinking my mum won’t live a long life and my dad is dead.

I don’t feel I have much and find it difficult to be self dependant. its strange because felt like how I do a bit like how I did before dad died. its almost 2 years since he passed away, which was 22nd july 06

First of all, how old are you if I may ask? I worry about my parents passing too and I’m 44. I think all kids worry about it - no matter what their age.

Well spirited, I also worry obsessively about my husband dying. But worrying doesn’t do anything. Just try to enjoy your loved ones all you can while they’re alive. It’s all you can do. And make sure they know every day that you love them.

true worrying doesn;t do anything. i think because every year crap happens in my life, i expect more to come. like 11 years to 16 bullying and depression, 17 low self esteem and failing course, 18 mental health problems because of self esteem issues, at 19 lost dad and was r*p*d a half a year later and that happened last year. this year i just want one year where things don;t go wrong. im scared things will still go downhill. nothing seems to go up very well.

Honey, my heart goes out to you and yours. *hugs* True worrying doesn’t do much good for anything, but on the other hand, maybe you could take that worry and do just as chameleon said, cherish and spend all the time you can w/ those you love. make everyday lived like the last day of YOUR life. Your life will continue, it will have its ups and downs but you WILL get through them all. Look at you right now, you’re 21, you’re alive, you have those around you now who love you and honey, you got through, *in my opinion* the HARDEST thing for any woman to go through and survived. Not without its everyday problems but you did it! You have a lot of strength and spirit in your soul, spiritedsoul, your name precedes you! Take that inner spirit and soar! We are all here if you want to talk about anything. *hugs*:D
