Re: What's Your Phobia?
 

I have a fear of dying. I know it's dumb since everyone's time will come and there's nothing you can do about it. It just bugs me out sometimes to think one day I will be gone. I guess what my fear really comes down to is facing death. I honestly could not imagine a doctor telling me I have months or weeks to live and having to wrap my mind around that. It just freaks me out. When I go I hope it's quick. I couldn't handle lying in a hospital bed juiced up on pain killers just waiting to die. I also fear losing my family. When the day comes that I lose one of my parents I'm going to be a mess.

100% agree. I didn't put fear of dying in my original post, because I didn't want this turn into another "why should you fear death" discussion like in the Life After People thread.

I totally agree. I am not so much afraid of my death as I am of my love ones. I have never lived in a world without both my parents, that is going to be a sad and scary world when the day comes.

My dad keeps trying to go over his will with me but I keep dodging just becasue I don't even want to think of it. not that he is on his death bed it is just precaution.

Its a good thing your dad has taken the time to have a will and its because he loves his family that he has done this. You should take the time to discuse this with him because then you will understand his wishes when that day comes. Its not a fun subject but most people never take the time to prepare for death and that can make things a real mess.

Good point, none of seem to be ready it just kinda creeps up. Granted I am much younger, but I do think about these things.

I guess since you all are older it has been on your mind for a while, but it's funny how these thoughts never really concern us in our early teens.

Probably until I was about 25 I always thought I would always be a young adult, my parents would always be 40 something, all babies would just stay babies, etc... Like I knew I would get older but I really never thought it would happen. It is hard to explain but until you start experience death and births in your family it is hard to grasp.
