I feel as if I might die soon. I have felt like this before about a year ago. The think is when I do feel like this I don't get scared. I'm not afraid of dying. If I where to die right now I would be okay with it. I know this isn't good because I told my very trusted god father about this before and he said I shouldn't not mind dying. He cares for me and I don't want to worry him like that again. I, honestly, don't want to grow old. I don't want to be a useless old women.
So what do you think.. I have been having problems with my friends lately and my grandma is on her death bed.
These thoughts are coming to you and are based on fear or trauma of some sort surrounding death, disease or something along those lines. It's all nonsense. You're 14-years-old and not about to die, do not have a dread disease, aren't old or about to be in an accident.
The odds of that last one are huge. Put simply, it's not going to happen no matter how persistent those thoughts are. Now, you aren't crazy nor do people need to be crazy to see a psychiatrist or medical professional about this. It would be in your great interest to do so. Why? They can sort out what's causing these thoughts and figure out how to help you permanently eradicate them.
Also, just because someone may be old doesn't mean that they're weak or about to die. Many people who are seniors live a productive life, enjoy themselves and never slow down no matter what. It's not bad to live longer.
Many are as sharp as a tack and feisty and there's no reason to expect otherwise for yourself. It's just irrational bullshit you're allowing yourself to entertain. Find out the reason why and kick it out of your head. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

You're not close to death, though. You're only fourteen years old. You've got at the very least sixty years left in you. If you take care of yourself properly, you've got even more than that.
You shouldn't be afraid of dying. It's actually very mature of you to realize that death is inevitable, and worrying about it won't make it go away.
The fear of growing old is understandable.
If you exercise and nourish your body well, you won't get useless. I know plenty of old men who can bench press twice as much as I can.
Growing old doesn't necessarily mean losing your value as a human being. Personally, I think the wisdom that comes with age is extremely valuable.
If you treat yourself well, you have nothing to worry about. Exercise while you're young, so your bones will be strong when you do get older.
I'm sure you're told this all the time, but get plenty of sleep, don't skip meals, and get at least a half hour of exercise everyday. [ maxgrey's advice column | Ask maxgrey A Question ]
