I Had A Sleepless Night..............

[Tilly2]

I had one of those 'What if I'm buried alive?' anxiety attacks last night. Possibly to do with the fact that it's twenty years ago since my Mum was buried.

However, I am now sixty and I probably have less than twenty years left. That is really scarey! Does anyone else have these 'attacks'? How do you deal with them?

Tonight when I was driving home down the M61 and stressing at all the old fuddy duddy sunday drivers tootleing home from a day in the lakes whilst i've been rushed off my feet, I suddenyl thought, hang on I'm nearly 60, it's not about age, they just can't bloody drive lol

There's no need for you to 'go on' Jeza I was just wondering what you had both been diagnosed with to create such fear and worry.

Like I said, I live in the here and now and think that living in fear of what if scenarios breeds fear. In my experience it is much better to deal with problems than to put them off.

You're probably right Eccles. It doesn't make me feel any better though.

Thank you Sparkles62 and Headwreck for your kind words!

Don't have anxiety attacks Tilly2, but I'm glad you posted as I thought maybe I was the only one who worries about not being here in 20 years time. Hope you have a better night tonight.

Eiggam. I am so sorry for your loss.
The loss of a loved one is peculiar to each individual and no amount of advice or platitudes can make up for it.
I will be thinking of you and pray for strength and peace during this time of grieving.

tilly big hugs for you.

Tilly I have those thoughts too since my mum died. She was put on the 'pathway' which to me was horrific, being denied any sustenance only more and more drugs to let her finally die. I try not to think about it and I can understand how you feel. I suppose it's human nature to think about death when you are getting older. I'm trying to keep healthy and fit, thinking positive and doing things or being with people who make me smile or laugh.
