    I'm mostly afraid of going before my time is up I suppose.
    Being aware that I'm dying and being so fcuking pissed about it.

    A friend of mine once witnessed a bad car crash from a couple of cars down, one of the passengers was in a pretty bad way.

    He got out of his car and a few other motorists gathered around the guy and basically held him as he died, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. He was still a young lad in his late twenties, still conscious and very aware that he was in his last moments.

    She said the last thing he said before closing his eyes forever was "I don't want to die".

    I'd hate to go that way. Knowing that you're being cheated of your own life.

    I am in my early thirties and I find myself panicking from time to time... I mean you spend an entire lifetime building relationships, a family and then in one fell swoop, its gone!!! Its over, kaput!

    My mom is in her late 70s, I think I will be on anxiety medication by the time I get to her age... I mean, holy jeebus!!! by 75, you are only going to have, at best another 10 years left...

    Talk about a count down timer!!!!

    We need to live each day to its most! I mean, who knows if we are going to get hit by a bus on the way home this evening... then its over!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    Short answer: Yes, yes I am!

    Far more worried/scared by thoughts of people I love dying.
    I don't grieve well.
    and I have my own self-worth issues which make me think they'd be much greater losses etc; maybe that will change when I have kids to think of, I'd like to think it will.
    But even then, I suppose my worries surrounding my own death would be more about impact to others than the impact to me.
