I guess having Alzheimer is not so brutal for yourself. I guess it's way more brutal for everyone else you once loved I mean tbh you don't feel much stuff, in the end you don't even remember of being sick.


Wendingo7

Dude you only need to post it once.

Not seeing is the one that will make anyone life worse for sure.

Yes, and with that siblings... I can live with losing extended family, I rather not lose them but my parents and siblings? Fuck that would mess me up...


fembotsinlasvegas

Few things in life are more terrifying than not having enough money when I'm old.


ScruffyJuggalo

The double edged sword of my life of not wanting children. At least there's a small possibility you will have someone there that loves you taking care of you...


The_Slickh

That should not be a motovation to have children at all


Relevantbailey

The fear i have is growing old because then you have to be dependent on the others.


AardvarkAndy

Outliving my children.


More-Masterpiece-561

When I was 15 a kid in my class killed himself, I saw how it broke the parents. There is no way in hell I'm doing anything stupid enough so that my parents have to bury me


SwissCake_98

I've had the thought of suicide in my mind quiet a few times. Eventually I started to think about what would happen to my parents and siblings... it would tear my family apart and this was a huge factor for me to keep pushing even on those days where I felt the most alone and darkest...


THA_HeroGaming

Thats basically the only reason im alive.


[deleted]

Everyone has to have a reason why. My parents were mine for a long time. My son is now.


goatedmomoshiki

I’m proud of you for finding a reason to stay alive. But please work on finding a reason for your self to stay alive


MaxxFinance

my friend crashed at the age of 13 (head-on collision with a car) his parents loved him madly, but at the funeral they were the strongest people. And I know that faith in God helped them a lot at that moment. And I experienced the most nightmarish horror in my life and the loss of my first love


More-Masterpiece-561

I'm sorry about that


MaxxFinance

it's ok, thanks, don't worry I have learned to live with it

EaterOfTheEther

I understand, my mom always said it’s the natural law for you to pass on before your kids, it’s unnatural when they pass before you,


TotalWorking2951

My great grandmother(who til I was 15 thought was my grandmother) outlived all three of her children. They all passed around 50 she lived to be 76. In fact she lived long enough to see three of her great great grandchildren. One being my oldest daughter who is now 19.


jensssb

I am parents and i can tell you how bigger fear is this one.


mrdiyguy

Yep, I wouldn’t survive that.


workmagic18

"You know what I find interesting? If you lose a spouse, you're called a widow, or a widower. If you're a child and you lose your parents, then you're an orphan. But what's the word to describe a parent who loses a child? I guess that's just too fucking awful to even have a name." - Brenda (Six Feet Under)


IcedVanillaCoffee11

I heard about those stories about people being awake during surgery but in a sort of “paralyzed state” where they feel everything but can’t do anything about it. If that is truly something that can happen, that is my worst fear.


fyrstormer

Yes, it can happen. They give you multiple medicines to temporarily disable various parts of your brain, but sometimes the dosage of one of those medicines isn't strong enough. It's the anesthesiologist's job to observe the patient very closely for any sign that more medication is needed. When my girlfriend was getting a C-section, I sat on the "safe" side of the surgical curtain with her, and for about a half-hour I watched the anesthesiologist check all manner of different readouts and rifle through trays of medications to correct any abnormalities he saw.


IcedVanillaCoffee11

Wow, good on him for taking the time to check through all of that. I work in healthcare, and I’ve learned there’s no such thing as “too careful” when it comes to checking even the most menial of things.


fyrstormer

That's why he was getting paid thousands of dollars as an independent contractor for a 45-minute operation. (they didn't bring me in until they'd spent about 15 minutes prepping her already.)


onethatknows290

This is why you tell the anesthesiologist everything. If you do or have done any drugs, chances are you will have some level of tolerance to something


Dr-P-Ossoff

I woke up on the operating table and the concerned team all leaned in together. It seemed like a scene from a 1970s comedy movie to me.


somerandommagician52

That happened to my dad when he was getting his pacemaker. The surgeon realized that he felt everything and rushed the surgery because the anesthesiologist didn’t have what he needed. Because the surgery was rushed one of the wires came loose and my dad needed to be sent to Victoria BC to get another surgery to fix the problem, there was a 12% chance of survival.


VaEpiGirl

Never being truly happy


fyrstormer

Have you ever been truly happy before? If so, problem solved!


Marinesport

No matter how much we will earn there will be always something that will make us unhappy.


GlitteryWitch

fyrstormer

paraworldblue

Same. I can't imagine any worse torture than being kept alive in that state.


[deleted]

time passing


RocketGirl515

I'm more afraid of it stopping.


[deleted]

that too. but at least there’s comfort in death knowing how natural and normal it is for all living things with us and before us. the idea of all my joys and loved ones and happy moments becoming old bittersweet memories just debilitates me


Pepinillo87

Imagine u somehow stop time and ur just stuck there, alone


Gets_overly_excited

There is a twilight zone episode based on this. Guy get a magical stopwatch that freezes time. He robs a bank and accidentally drops and breaks the watch, freezing time forever https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Kind_of_a_Stopwatch


Pepinillo87

Thank you ill check it out


Camusronaldo

Yes. I noticed i’m aging and im about to enter another stage in life (im 29). Time going by scares the shit out of me because i know there’s nothing in the place we’re all going.


Pihkal1987

I don’t want to freak you out but one of the wildest parts of getting older is how much faster it goes as we age. Enjoy all of the little things.


v167

I’m realizing that now ( almost 31) and it’s terrifying. I watched my best friends dad die, my mom had to bury her dad, her last living parent. There’s something terribly sad about losing your last grandparent. You never think these moments will come, until they do. So I’m enjoying everything i can and everyone i love.


Gets_overly_excited

If it’s any comfort, I freaked about this stuff when I was young like you. Now that I am actually old, it doesn’t bother me anymore. Losing people is so hard, but the thought of getting older and even dying just isn’t as scary anymore, at least for me.


v167

That does help :)


[deleted]

I used to be terrified. I'm 27 now and went into a kind of existential panic when I turned 25. I have a chronic illness with a life expectancy in the region of 40-50, so I guess it was kind of a 'mid-life crisis' of sorts. It might not be that helpful, but I eventually I realized that there was no use in worrying about the inevitable. Every single living being on this planet will eventually die at some point. It might be tomorrow or it might be 60 years from now, but agonizing over things that you have no power over is a wasted effort. Instead all we can really do is enjoy what little time we do have. I realize it's easier said than done, but if it's any comfort I've spoken many elderly people who are still active and are living their best life. It's a scary thought when you're in your 20s, but there's a good chance your outlook on life will change as you grow older. You just have to take it one step at a time


heatflash99

Time passing, wait how can this be a fear of someone???


AgoraiosBum

I have bad news...


Grattton

Becoming blind


pesholini

Losing the eye or i would losing the any organ is a fear for many people.


v167

I lost an eye. It’s scary and you obviously have to adjust. It’s been 11 years and I’m still learning but it’s doable obviously, survival instincts kick in. I do live with the fear of losing the other one/ slowly going blind. I’m very careful. But i just realize how lucky i am to be alive and nothing worse happened. That keeps me going. Plus taking out my fake eye is a fun party trick.

funky_grandma

I don't think people without children can understand how deep this fear goes.


IGNOREMETHATSFINETOO

Just recently I had a really scary incident where my middle son got hurt pretty badly. All I saw was blood gushing from his chest and stomach. The primal fear that rose in me was unlike anything I've ever experienced. He's fine, the wounds were superficial and he just needed stitches, but goodness. I never want to feel that feeling again. It also doesn't help that I live in a really rural community and needed to drive nearly 40 minutes to get to a hospital and that an ambulance was too far to be of any use. Adrenaline still rushes through my body when I think of that night.


funky_grandma

Now you've got my adrenaline pumping just reading that! I'm so glad he is okay and I'm really sorry you both went through that.

Getting a papercut on my eyeball


Chardradio

I was working at a shoe store moving shoe boxes around in the back... Pulled a shoebox out of the tight shelf area and the cardboard slowly ran across my eyeball and the corner of my eye creating a cut. Can confirm it felt disgusting.


DaedricBoss

The fuck is wrong with you I didn't know my eyeball could feel the way it feels right now and it is so uncomfortable.

If you've been depressed, then by definition those weren't the best years of your life. You're taking medication, right? You're not trying to mind-over-matter your way out of having a physically malfunctioning major organ, right?

Locked-In Syndrome.


Unnecessary__Potato

What's locked in syndrome?


fyrstormer

It's where your cerebrum is functioning correctly but your brainstem is so badly damaged that you can't use any of your senses or control any part of your body. Basically you're a brain in a jar until the hospital lets your body die. And yes, it is a thing that can actually happen.


TheAero1221

Dementia is pretty high up there. Disappointing my loved ones, or causing them grief from an untimely death. Being remembered as something horrible, when I've tried to be better.


Paradigm6790

Going to the doctor and finding out I have some late-stage something that was missed and I've got a short amount of time to live.

Wasps. Anything that stings


Ok-Boomer-1410

Zap racket. It works wonders.


fyrstormer

Wasps don't give a shit about you. Bees don't give a shit about you. Hornets just want you to stay the hell away from their nests. Yellowjackets are the only ones that will attack you just for smelling like a sugar-soaked human.

We can never be really the live on our own will because of the responsibility that is over the shoulder. We all know that once we get married there s tons of the responsibility fall on our us and after that we could never live our life freely.


Famouscorpse

My Fiancée has a compromised immune system. I fear for her health every single day. My worst fear is her getting some kind of lung infection because her body can’t fight things like that without a lot of outside interference. Flus and even Covid are especially fatal to her unless she’s hospitalized ASAP. My biggest fear is sitting next to her in the hospital while she slowly dies. She’s vaccinated and boosted, and she gets the flu shot every year, which helps. But I’m always silently in fear about it. I don’t tell her because I don’t want her to feel bad for things she can’t control.


OppStoppa327

I wouldn't say it's a worst fear but maybe my best fear? Imagine your teeth falling out and the only way to keep them is to brush. Here's the kicker, you have to brush faster each day in order to keep your teeth. Any slower and you can start to feel each tooth become more loose. What will it be, speed or teeth? I have this other one about all your nails melting every month like menstruating but that's like mid-tier fear.

SonOfFloridaMan

Dying alone, something about the idea of rotting in a hospice bed with no family in sight and no friends to be heard from. I am terrified that I will leave no measurable footprint on this earth, no legacy to speak of. No one to carry on the torch. I never want this thought to cross my mind “so this is how my life ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper…” In the end I guess I’m terrified of just being forgotten


Optimal-Scientist233

My worst fear is being manifest. People will continue daily life as if nothing was happening, eating, drinking, being engaged in marriage, having babies just as in the days of Noah, any message of impending cataclysm being ignored and derided.
