i just fear overall suffering at old age. like pain or difficulty breathing. that kind of thing. and the panic of getting a heart attack or a stroke or something. and eventually the dying process will not be nice either unless i'm lucky and having an accident where it ends abruptly.

Losing my looks and athletic abilities. I can’t even imagine a life where I’m not actively playing a competitive sport. I’m going to have a very hard time if I ever have to transition into a sedentary lifestyle at any point.

Being completely alone! If things keep up the way they ARE going, now, I guess I better get used to being completely alone for the rest of my life!!

  I've had to get used to it ever since my boyfriend died suddenly 3 years ago. It's not easy, believe me.
  And I am so sorry it happened to you too! And for what? 🤷🏼‍♀️

  Thank you!
  I just think she's got some "issues" she needs to deal with. For some reason, she feels inadequate for me but I keep telling her she's absolutely PERFECT for me!!! I could NEVER WANT anyone better than her!!! Also, as I'm so VERY loyal, I WILL stick by her even in her worst of times!!! I think she's afraid that I'm gonna leave her at some point when her evil Mr. Hyde shows up!! Lol. But, I'm NEVER gonna abandon her!! I cherish her and she means WAAAAAYYYYYY TOO MUCH, to me to EVER even THINK OF hurting her in ANY way!!!

  I'm still going through this thing of having to depend on other people or just not get it done.
  If there was always one thing I praised myself for in my younger years - it was that I was incredibly independent!!
  That all fell by the way side and I never thought that would happen to me. It's terribly frustrating!

  I can understand why that would be so frustrating, especially when you've been so independent your whole life. I'm really sorry you're going through that. I hope things get a little easier for you.

  Just be glad that they make disposable underwear and diapers! They come in handy if you happen to be wearing one when you have a bathroom accident.😊

Don't fear dying but altzeimers or long term disability. You can survive to as an old person in bad health until nearly 100 now. For the first time in history to can now live longer as an old person as long if not longer than you did as a young adult.
I'd rather die in my 60s in good reasonable health than live into my 90s without a clue who I am or where I am or relegated to a bed for 20 years.
