Just aging in general. I’m genuinely so scared of aging and I have no clue why. I always have been scared of being old and unable to do anything and it terrifies me
I am relatively young, but I am scared of not having financial safety when I am getting older especially with everything getting more and more expensive. Another point: Everything could be going smooth while working, but what is the situation when I retire?
The unknown. I have a chronic illness since 38. Will it get worse when I’m older and alone and not as quick. It’s kicking my butt right now in this flare and I can just manage at 47 but what about in the future? Scary stuff.
My mom is an active, vibrant woman and just this week has had scary out-of-the-blue symptoms probably related to her Meniere’s disease which caused her to fall. This sweet, sassy 71yo is now resting in bed trying not to move and it’s killing me. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. No one is immune to life turning upside down in an instant.
I (37) have 7 chronic conditions, and obviously everything will hurt worse as I get older. I don’t plan to live past 60 because I don’t think I can handle the pain.

My parents getting old too.
I worry about my mom. She’s only 59, so there’s some time, but still.
My body getting older even though my mind isn’t. My parents and older family members getting old and dying.
My grandparents and great grandfather dying.
That in life I wont have a home , financial freedom and a peaceful partner.
Not being able to get up from the floor as easily anymore. I’m only 32 but I already make that weird oof sound when I stand up.
My knees
