Are you ever afraid of dying alone because of your mental illness?

@lilgrizz , Hi. Wow, that is a powerful admission to make. I also am in front of 2 divorces, and my health seems to be going downhill with diabetes, hypothyroidism, gastroparesis, heart problems, gee that's enough. Oh, let's add severe depression, and it appears a little PTSD to boot. Yeah, I'm afraid of being in a nursing home with no relatives coming by. I have my two kids, thank God, but I'm scared to death for them because neither one takes care of themselves. They both have diabetes, and my daughter also has hypothyroidism. You would think I'm contagious! I have to remember that having illnesses makes you prone to having depression. I finally went to see a therapist again, as it turns out it was a one time shot! I asked him should I make another appointment and he says no. WTH! I need someone to talk to. Talking to my daughter about death is freaking her out, understandably. I guess that's what I want to talk about, death. I guess everyone wonders when and how. Is this what you wanted to talk about? Let me know and I can shut my mouth. I'll go for now. You take a pretty picture. Dany

You are not a hypocrite...Talk about your dark stuff here as it is a safe place. I also have PTSD.

@danybegood1 hey sorry it took so long to reply. Some days the pain from all ailments just make it too hard to sit and think. Thank you so much for your reply . We have so much in coming. Ravaged with illness, divorced, and how people can look at our mental illness in an outstandingly horrible way. Wow I would love to get my hands around that therapist neck who treated you so coldly. My kids also freak out when I talk about death and dying alone and they get really mad at me. They talk to me like I'm not going to die so end of conversation. As I think about it though I really shouldn't put that kind of undue pressure upon my children. My parents are 75 and I take care of them and I take care of them and I tell them all the time their not dyeing. Kind of makes me a hypocrite. haha. I not know so much to think about. So much I wish I didn't think about. My bipolar mind just want listen to me. Darn it!
