Are you worried about the future?

I think so much about my future. I feel worried about what will happen when my parents and my husband die. I will feel so alone because I don’t have many friends.

Hey another. Yes. Another is a friend of mine. We met in a spanish forum about schizophrenia and I asked him yesterday if he wanted to be in this forum. Welcome another.

I worry about the same thing I worry about whether my husband is going to die before me and I am afraid of being alone I think my depression will get so bad I won’t be able to stand it

I despair over the fact that there will be no one to care about or advocate for me when I’m old and that there will be no one to make arrangements for me when I die. It keeps me up at night.

I’m worried no one will hire me this year for a full time job but if I get one I will probably stop worrying about when I get old because I plan on saving money for retirement. I don’t think I’ll live to that old anyways. I used to worry a lot more about it. My sister got a job but I think she also has a milder version of schizophrenia so I was worried about her employment long term. I thought because I had schizophrenia so I thought I would never earn anything and my brother is struggling too. My sister is getting married soon though and has managed to stay employed despite her symptoms. My brother is progressing although I’m still worried about him.

I’m worried about the planet and my country. I don’t like socialists and I don’t like how our president is being treated. I feel people are brainwashed. I see it in our schools and universities.

I want my kids to be successful so i know when i die that they will be okay without me. I worry about my financial situation. I worry a lot about everything.

Yes, very.

I’m not worried about myself so much but the world is a mess and I think things could be very uncertain in another 20-30 years, I think the best way to deal with it is to have a lot of money so that’s my goal.

I am very worried. At the moment I only hav my mum. I’m already Lonely with 1 person around. I’m almost wondering what’s the point of living if I can’t connect with people

I worry a lot. I am only 34, but my oldest daughter just went off to college. My other kids are 15 and 12. They are all going to leave soon, and the house will be so empty and quiet without them. I will just be waiting around for my husband to come home all day. And if something happens to him, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold myself together.

We have good life insurance at the moment, but I’m concerned that we won’t be able to re-qualify for the same amounts or, if we do, the rates may be too high to pay. Without life insurance, I won’t be able to live comfortably if something happens to my husband. It scares me.

I am worried about not getting social security. I really can not work anymore, not even a work therapy. And as I think of not being able to work, I also get thoughts about working, what kind of work, most of the time it is programming, but I can not do it anymore, and I just had about eight to ten months of experience. Or I get thoughts about drawing because once I drew for two weeks. But that is all fake. Or I think about going to work on the lowest income, because my education is really bad. And other thoughts or delusions like becoming a pro skateboarder or bodybuilder. That is all way too much, I can not even handle the one hour walk to the gym in one direction every day. And all those thoughts stress me out or make me anxious. They put too much pressure on me.

I worry about my kids futures. I wish the most awesome lives for them.
As for my life once the kids are grown i honestly don’t care what happensto me

@FatMama I am having to learn to overcome my own desires for my kids’ futures and let them choose what makes them happy. It’s not easy. I want good lives for them, too. I want them to be happy.

I worry all the damn time. Most of it is financial worries. My parents both are dead already, and I have no kids of my own, have no spouse, so those are not concerns for me.

Yes they definitely choose their own paths. My.daughter got a full scholarship and is soon taking her bachelors degree in science followed by med school.
My oldest son has a great job but is saving to become a truck driver
My younger son is moving towards becoming am architect.
And my youngest daughter says she’s too young to think about it

I wish I could take credit for how great they are doing but I don’t feel like I did much.
