I think I’m looking forward to my first counselling session and, to take some of the pressure off, I’m just going to go and see what happens. It’s no secret that it’s getting rather hard to be hopeful about anything and I’m concerned about the future, especially my own. I’m just glad to be back on this site, as long as I don’t get addicted again, lol!

My fear of the future kind of comes and goes.
There were times I was terrified of the future.

Keep your own life intact and let the rest of the world go by. Don’t let AI make you lazy.

I’m also scared and don’t know how I will manage in the near future. My mom helps me a lot but she’s getting older. I don’t know what I’ll do without her. But that’s life I guess.

I sometimes think about the future like who’s going to take care of me when I get old? My kids don’t want anything to do with me, so I think I’ll be homeless and die alone.

imagining the future and thinking about how i might be the same me then is terrifying
I’ve already made plans for what I’ll do if my husband dies, depending on what age it happens at.
If it’s soon, I’d ask my sister or mom if I could stay with them until I get on my own feet. That could mean finding employment and/or moving into low income housing.
If it’s a long time from now and I’m not able to be independent, I’ll go to a group home. My sister is a lot older than me so if it’s a long time from now, she’d be too elderly to have to help me out.
It helps calm my anxiety knowing I have a plan.

@Ducky He’s 53. He’s on a pain pump that he’s trying to wean off of. He’s also very suicidal.
I worry about WW3 because of my dad’s indoctrination.

Me too. I need to get a job or finish a degree (bachelor’s degree) and work. Baby steps, I guess.
