Lost both of my parents before the age of 24

Sounds like you are suffering from depression and anxiety and you really need to see your dr and tell them how you are feeling. Keep a healthy diet. Sounds like you are still grieving as well. Time heals those wounds. Please talk to your dr.

I'm sorry for your losses. I lost both my parents by the time I was 19. My father had pulmonary fibrosis and my mom less that three years later had a brain aneurysm. They were both 53 when they died. I also used to think I would die young because of this. But I am now 61 years old and am still here. You probably should talk to someone, whether it is a friend or counselor. I know it is a terrible loss and you will always look back and wish they were with you. It will get better with time.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in June, he was 55. It just came as a big shock. Every time someone would come up to me to condole me, I'd say something like well we're all going to go someday. I realized that I didn't like the impression my thought process gave people so I stopped saying it.

Now I feel I'm more silent and don't smile as much as i used to. I also read a lot of news of people dying everyday (not to feel better about myself, just to know that what happened was natural and try to accept it). Maybe it's because I am the eldest and my brother and sister still need to be looked after I've become very private and only have one or two people who I can share stuff with.
I've learnt not to predict death. Though I do think that everyday about my relatives and aunts, uncles and my mom especially, what's going to happen if they die and I'm left alone.

I never made a lot of loyal friends because I've moved around a lot, somehow I feel I should find all the strength I need from within myself.
I'm not really worried about myself dying, just worried about the people I'll leave behind, especially if I die young and have children.


I hope you can overcome your problems. Maybe you could talk to a psychiatrist or a therapist. Sometimes it helps if you don't know them.
