I want to. I don't want to

I want to attempt to get healthier. But I also don’t want to because being healthier means prolonging my life. I really don’t want to live past 65. That is another 13 years. That would be ideal. Waffling between what to do.

My grandmother is 93 and still has a sound mind. She’s had a great life and still takes pleasure in simple things. 65 is too young to check out.

She is old enough to have great great grandchildren though I don’t think my niece or daughter are going to have children anytime soon. (Thank God as they are not well established yet)

My parents are 86 and 90. My moms side of the family often live to 100. My parents are of very sound mind but are both having mobility issues. When they die I will be beyond devastated. I love them so much.

I want to live as long as I can provided I can be independent and generally healthy.

I’m independent and still have my youngest daughter who is 17 is living with me every other week and see her often when she is at her dads place. I have enough money to live a good enough life. My oldest daughter who is 21 and youngest son who is 19 both live on their own. My 23 year old son lives with this dad. I guess I just figure soon they will not longer need me.

You just said you would be devastated when your parents for and you’ve had them into your 50s. How do you think your kids would feel if they lost you in their 30s?

You don’t want to see grandchildren?

I think if you work at it now, you could live a lot longer before having to many medical problems. I already have mobility issues and I’m only 34. It’s not so bad. I’m strong enough to push my own wheelchair so I’m pretty independent. Work on stretching and strength training. It’ll take you a long way.

I just wish my mental health would be better. If the med regimen I’m on now doesn’t become more effective there’s not much more that can be done. I just don’t want to become a burden to my kids.

I’m 45 and I still call my stepmom for advice. The most recent time I called her to ask her if I needed to soak my dish tags in bleach water to sanitize them.
