I just had a breakdown. :( I NEED HELP!

I was just laying in bed thinking about when i get older. My Mom and Dad are going to die, every one i know will die. Im gonna grow up and be all alone, and then it's my turn. I can't imagine my family just dieing and me never seeing them again it's just too much for me to handle. I mean i don't know what i would do whithout my parent's theve done everything for me and love me so much. \And im seriously typing this in tears knowing that in 100 years were all gonna be dead and no one knows what happens to you. I don't want to sound like a softy but it one of those thing's that get's to me.

 

It gets to me too sometimes. But then I remember that with our bodies shutting down in old age death will be welcome. Not to sound negative there. But right now we have so much to experience, so much yet to do. But when a life has been lived and you are content it wont seem as scary. Probably not much help but it my stoned ramblings from red planet

 

Yea i guess, but i would rather die before my family so i don't have to go through there death's. But that's just not right.

 

Well i am going to bed. Goodnight all. If you want to reply please do ill get back to you when i wake up. Thanks.

 

not to talk shit but I feel that myself dieing before them purely so I didnt have to feel uncomfortable without them is sorta selfish imo. I mean I guess that feeling is in everybody, even me i'm that selfish also. Its just one more shitty thing we have to accept. Sorry I'm such a downer

 

Death is a part of life if that makes sense. When I was younger I would think whats gonna happen when I get older. Now that the times flown by and im about to graduate high school I realize how much my parents have aged along with my brother and sisters. It happens man life goes on, everyones gonna go sooner or later hopefully later but things happen. I love my parents to death seeing as how they've provided for me the best they can and do anything for there children before themselves. But I kno that there aging already and are in there mid 50's. Time flys all I can say is live your life man cause thats all you can do. Dont want to die before your parents thats nonsense. Everyone deals with death sooner or later, and hopefull your parents and my parents live many more but for now just live your life seeing as how your parents have lived theirs

 

100 years is a loooong time...your all here now so enjoy it
yesterday is gone forever,tomorow always a day away, now is all we ever really have....make the most of every today

your here...till your not
but while you are... every now just is a momment we share with whover is there in the same momment

 

100 years is about the shortest time frame in the universe

take up religion if your scared of death, I know it helps for some people. 4 real though man its life and thats that. Be happy your a human and got to live a decent life

 

Think of what your consciuosness is and how it has somehow attached itself to a human body. Now try and find the source of your consciousness. Get back to me if you have any luck.
Namaste

 

i know what you mean, it's a pretty crazy thought
but ya gotta think it's a part of life and it happens to everybody.
just live the life you have now, and don't worry about what's gonna happen when you die, because when you do, you're probably not gonna even realize it

 

I'm 54, my parents are still around but I realize they'll soon be gone. I'm okay with that now, I've had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Some people I knew in my youth have died young or middle aged, yes it totally sucks and mourning is the worst feeling in the world, but it will happen.

You're 18 and with your whole adult life ahead of you. The harsh realization you've come to is all the more reason to embrace life and to make the most of your relationships with the people you love. Every day!

 

Yes, it's something with which we all have to deal.I'm older than my father,mother,uncle,cousins and a bunch of very good friends.They're gone.Some I miss and some I don't.Sometimes I think there's an afterlife of some kind and other times it seems ridiculous.You have to think it through and then forget it and make your dreams and desires come true while you have life.Horrendous and unfair things will happen throughout your lives-----and wonderful ,beautiful things will also happen.It is up to you young ones to move on thru this short period we have in this form and DON"T waste your lives.I'm not sorry about the things I've done in life--just the things I didn't do.Don't be sorry-just make for yourselves a life you can feel good about--maybe even proud and try and have and provide for others --lots of fun!!Hope this helps a little.

 

Make friends who will outlive you.

 

Mortality is one of the things that makes life so beautiful and special. Enjoy life as much as possible, focus on the present and the time you have with family and friends now.

 

I'm sorry you had to have that little breakdown freedom. That's happened to me occasionaly in the past. One night when I was around 11 or 12 my uncle was dieing of aids, and I happened to be staying with my friend's family for a couple weeks at their vacation house. So the night that he passed away I was awake having the same kind of breakdown you were having only I was thinking about my great grandpa passing away! I've always sort of attributed that as my uncle letting me know that he was moving on. I wasn't thinking of him only because I knew that is death was inevitable. He suffered through hiv for more than 10 years, and he was very sick.

My great grandpa ended up living for another 10 years or so until he had fallen down the stairs and broke his hip for the second time! In his 90s! He was on the way down to the basement where he kept his beer. He didn't recover well from the second surgery, and ended up with a staff infection I think.

But the point is that our parent's are meant to die before us. That's nature's way. It's a LOT harder for a paren't to deal with a child's death than it is for us to deal with our parent's dying. And usually the deaths of our children are a lot more tragic than the ultimate deaths of our parents.

Chances are your parent's will still be around for a good number of years, and you'll grow to except their hopefully natural passings as a part of life. Hope I helped you freedom, and I'm glad to see that you have a wonderful human side.

 

Lucky for me i havent lost any close relatives yet. Its sad though when you get a phone call and you hear of a highschool friend who was just killed in a car accident. Or the person you spent the first few years of your life with get killed in an avalanche. Its tough to take in at times. Though there is nothing you can really do but hope your friends dont do some dumb shit.

About your parents and family. Just give them all the support you can. Enjoy the small talk with your family. As you get older you tend to appreacite this more and more. Youll be alright man.

 

So what.

 

Oh man thank's so much you guys.

Last, night i was a little too high so when i was thinking about it everything seemed so bad. But now that im not, im not as worried. You guys have really helped me alot, and now i know it's gonna happen no matter what so don't worry about it. Your advice was fantastic everyone. And once again thank's.

 

you can't just "take up" religion. if it's what you believe than go to the church, but someone who doesn't believe in god, well church won't do much for them will it?

and 100 years is extremely long for humans. we're not living to a million, hell most of us won't even make it past 80.

 

^i had an awakening because of a huge personal trauma, overnight beliver.
i can be done, may i suggest trying to find a way to enlightenment that doesn't start with your girlfriend dying
