Getting older
I (17F) have this aching fear whenever I look in the mirror or at old photos of myself and see how I changed and I feel like I’m not ready to get older, just thinking about it makes me want to burst into tears. I don’t like the fact of getting older and sometimes wish I was never born because of it. I dont like the idea of death and I fear that when it happens to me I won’t be ready for it because it’s an unexpected thing.
im just seeking for answers on ways to cope with this fear or how I can go about my life without worrying about this.
Are you feeling your age? Scared of getting old and dying? Scared of losing your parents? I’ve known all of these personally…
All three honestly.

I think many people go through with this.
The future in unknown things pop up and we have to change course or adapt. ........ you feel more pressure making decisions and being an adult.
I have seen so many say they can't wait until they grow up and then hate and fear all the things we must deal with.
I suppose fear of death can happen at any age and will happen eventually ... but very little we can do but live NOW and face the challenges that come now.
@ghostingdeej Change can often feel scary. The uncertainties it carries can be unknown but it's all part of the nature of life but you're not alone with these thoughts. It's okay to feel the way you do but let those thoughts help you appreciate each passing moment.
