Sometimes i like to get deep and meaningful and shareing thoughts (it's how i am )
I was just wondering whats everybodys biggest fears
I'll start to make things easy
For me it's ending up like my Father (dead at 35 heart attack ,not knowing myself or sister )
and his lifestyle could of been a lot better
After all he did die a lonely sad person in a lot of bad situations

Lonliness....I know how sad that is but I am scared of growing old alone....and that doesn't necessarily mean having a partner but as in not having any friends or family.

Big Awareness is seeing past the illusion of loneliness to recognise how much love is inheret in the universe.
All this energy we look for around us then all the while it is inside.

Being stuck inside a burning car. I can't start an engine while wearing a seatbelt just in case it blows up. Irrational, I know, but what fears aren't?
The other one I am truely scared of is being eaten by a bear. Tigers? Pah! Lions? Meh!. Bears? Brown trousers time.
Not likely to happen in Brisbane though.

I have that awful habit of pushing people away when they get too close to me as well.
Bit of a stupid habit for someone scared of lonliness isn't it?

but this is how it goes
ok we dont want to be hurt so we push people away so we wont get atached. but every now and then we do get atached when this happens we dont relize it but we push them away so we cant get any closer. because if we do we will be hurt worse.
we deney our self the chance of love because we are affraid

lately i've started to fear losing my mind
no, jokes aside, i'm serious.
my grandad's really ill in hospital at the moment. he's had alzheimers for some time now, but since he went into hostpital his condition is rapidly deteriorating. he's completely lost the plot. he doesn't know who we are most days. he shouts profanities at doctors & nurses that come too close to him. sometimes it's funny and we can have a laugh about it, what else can you do? we all understand that he doesn't mean to offend anyone, it's just that he's no clue what he's doing.
my mum's starting to go around forgetting things lately too, and my memory has been terrible for years (but that's probably from all the smoke) maybe alzheimers is in our genes.....
but seeing the state my grandad's in, it's gotta be one of the worst ways to end your days, i'd rather be put to sleep.......

faberge - i know exactly what you mean!! my grandmother died from dementia last year, and my grandfather was already showing signs before she died. now he's pretty bad too! and my dad is beginning to get a bit forgetful...and i have been too for a while...mum's decided it's pre-determined. it's in the genes, and if i don't die from heart complications, it'll probably be alzheimers/dementia. joy!! but i'm gonna try and do things to avoid that! i don't know if i can avoid alzheimers, but heart conditions i can!!
i think my biggest fears are...well, i'm not sure. i've had to face a few of them recently, so my perspective has changed...

I know I shouldn't be scared of this, but it's the getting old thing I'm worried about.
It's not that I should be all grown up and act responsible, it's the fact that my body can't take the abuse it used to.
Hangovers are worse.
Accidents hurt more.
Pain lasts longer.
Need a decent nights sleep.
And I hate pop music.
AAAAAHHHHHH I Can't take it any more I'm feaking out.

I'm afraid of getting old too. But only getting old to the point where I can't care for myself anymore, and need assistance. I've done little concerts in some oldfolks homes before, and you look at them, and they look half dead already, with the young nurses pushing them around in their wheelchairs. It just seems such a sad point after a long and happy existance. My great grandmother also died of alzheimers... But she's been the only one so far. Longevity is really up there for the girls on both sides of my family...
I'd just hate the thought that I'd get old, and have to get someone else to take care of me...

i'm afraid of not having people to love and share my life with....family, friends, a partner
and i'm afraid of my body deteriorating. that sounds weird, but i did a health genogram once, and it really made me think. everyone should honestly try it. basically you do a genogram, 2 generations up (more if you know it), and you write down health problems everyone has had and cause of death if they are deceased. cancer runs in my family, and potential heart problems. but the big thing is the deterioration of our joints. it's genetic. i've already had knee surgery when i was 17 years old, and i'm in pain most days. i'd honestly almost rather take cancer (which i also have already have). between both of my parents, they have had 4 hand surgeries for carpal tunnel, back surgery, orthoscopic knee surgery, a complete knee replacement. i myself have knee problems, arthritis and carpal tunnel, back problems, shoulder problems, neck pain. i like being active and i have to realize that i can't be as much as i'd like. and i don't like the idea that my whole life i may be in constant pain.

I am afraid to die or for the one I truely love to die.
I never want to go into a nursing home, that in itself is a death sentence to me. I would rather be turned out into a field than go into a nursing home.
My other fear is very tall heights and falling off of them. Like rollar coaster rides

I am scared of hospitals...
I freak out and start shaking.
I think its because of the brain surgery and all the time I spent there now I associate the place with pain...
I cant even smell detergent without freaking a bit...
I cant use peach shampoo, because thats what the nurse washed the blood out of my hair with and I get really scared when I smell it... my heart races and arsn says I go white
Im petrified of going fast in a car. I used to cry when the speed hit 120 kms. Im more comfertable now, but I think that fear cames from when my dad and I were in a car crash and I was only 7 and the wheels of the car were hanging off the edge of the cliff on my side...
I was so scared
um I think my deepest fear is loosing arsn... how can you keep living without part of your heart and soul?
