I’m only 19, but recently have been surrounded by loss and the tragedy has caused my already existing anxieties to skyrocket. As of lately I’ve been having sleepless nights over growing older. Being absolutely terrified that I’m about to turn 20, and will only have 10 years until I’m 30, another ten until I’m 40 and so on…
I fear death and growing old because not many people in my family have reached 50 before dying or getting cancer/disease that gives them a life sentence. I’m super emotional and terrified.
