Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Perhaps I may have some sort of disorder causing me to think the way I do. I would like to share it with the community here too see what others have to say or share regarding this.
When my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and as she became very ill during chemotherapy i began thinking of what i would say during her service. She became very weak and sick and many thought she was not going to survive, but she has. Now, I randomly think about how death will come upon me and how it will feel, what my body may go through and such. I also randomly think throughout the day of what i will say of my own parents funeral, and even at this time they're both healthy. I find it strange yet, i think about that everso often.
Why do i constantly think upon death when im afraid to die? Does anyone else do something similar or even think about death nonstop?

Death is such a taboo subject, so we feel we're not supposed to dwell on it. But the more we try to push it away, the more it pops into our heads! It's like, "don't think about a pink elephant." ;)
I do hope that your dog lives for many years to come, i know what its like almost loosing a pet that you are so very attached too, easpecially when he/she is your closest friend. I have a cat that nearly died twice and he has been my best friend, i cried all night and held on to him praying that he wouldnt die. He's still living and him and i are as close as ever.
There are only one person in my life that i feel i couldnt life with out. That being my mother. I fear she will get in a wreck one day and never come home, because she is always on the road. Ive even gone as far as prepping for her death as if, im expecting her to get into a wreck. I dont want her too and i would hate too see her involved in one. No matter when or how death greets her, I know i will go insane and will need medical help in order to even function.
