I woke up to another celebrity death this morning. I Ryne(who I always thought was spelled Ryan) Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs died today at I believe 66.
That seems relatively young to me. I mean if all these athletes and people who have kept in shape their whole lives are dying at 66, how does that bode for an obese, diabetic, smoker schizophrenic?
Really, Im 52 and 14 years goes by in a flash.
It’s maybe something to keep in mind in your daily lives. You could be gone at anytime, particularly if you are in the older age ranges like me.
It’s fine to relax and enjoy yourself, and Im not asking you to concentrate on your death daily. But maybe keep in mind that if you have goals that you want to achieve, you may not have forever to get them done.
Not more than a few days at this point. I am long past my best before date. Not planning on going, but statistically speaking I am already dead. Enjoying each day as I can.
I stopped worrying about dying and leave it in the hands of fate…I accept any day that I die…I have a tricky heart at the moment, still dealing with that…but it could define when I die. not worried…ready to die.
For me, that is the saddest thing about schizophrenia. We live, on average, 20 years less than general population. Very sad. I think about this every day.
I am 61 years old and I know that I’m going to pass away sometime soon.
I’ll be lucky if I make it to 70.
I am overweight and right now prediabetic.
I also suffer from a heart condition

At 58 I believe I also reached my “sell by” date with sz, diabetes, cardiac dysrythmia; cholestrol and high blood pressure. …but I hope I live another 10 years.
My psychiatrist said “you could probably live to 120”, I somehow doubt that will happen. I’m not that old, but my hope is I will get to 80-90 IF my life isn’t too torturous, and I will actually have a decent time. The past years since the rollercoaster ride of psychosis started, life has not been so good, and I have often wished I would die. I’m a little better off nowadays.
God knows - hopefully till im 75 ish? I dont drink anymore, or smoke ciggies, so hopefully that will extend my life somewhat. I think its something, you simply cant worry about.
You shoudnt go thru life - wondering when your gonna snuff it - your just not enjoying the “now” otherwise.
I’m 61, and I actually died two years ago but nobody told me. Now I have to go to the back of queue. At this rate I will live another 30 years.
I do have an advanced directive. I just wrote that I don’t want any life support machines. I’m an organ donor, and I also have a will. I thought about cremation, but I ruled it out due to the heat. I was told that it is a dry heat. Like Vegas. But I’m not buying that.
