Because you're in your 40s?

I'm in my late twenties. I sometimes feel so scared. Scared of life, and living. As we grow older, life becomes harder. We're expected to do more things and be more successful in some way.

We find ourselves hanging between past and the future. We can't change the past, and we're too scared to move forward. I used to think that when I'm older, I will be more confident and more emotionally stable. However, it isn't true. Every stage is a new struggle, and we can be scared at any time, and it's okay. Life can be overwhelming, unpredictable and scary. When I get panic attacks, I wish to have someone to hold me, to hug me and tell me: "it all shall pass, you're stronger than this".

If you don't mind, I hug you tight and tell you "It shall pass, it's your battle... face the fear then you will be free. It shall be alright".
I wish you all the love and peace

Thank you very much for the hugs it means a lot to me. It's good to know that someone is with you in your struggles.

Scared about death?
Not really. I'm CURIOUS about it I guess.

As for anxious, yeah, I'm way too anxious all the time!

I'm very anxious all the time. It's a constant struggle.

 

[FuneralCry]

Yeah, I can relate. Being alive is certainly a scary thing. I have always been anxiety prone and I suffer from overactive thoughts. Our minds do like to torture us! I'm young but I'm scared of growing older.

A comedian I like:

'To everyone out there suffering from anxiety: you are not alone there's someone behind you'

- Rachel McCartney

But yeah it's the worst. I had a bout yesterday morning. Just had to ride it out 'cause booze would have been inappropriate lol.

Dunno, when you're young you still have your life in front of you and things could change, but when you're getting older you feel you're running out of time ....
