For me, it's fear of perpetual loneliness.
Quote:
I have no children. I feel like if I were to get sick, or in some other kind of bad jam, I would have no backup . . . no network of support. I would be alone and dependent on strangers. I can see me ending up in my "Golden Years" as a person who is not really cared about by anyone in particular.

I have 3 siblings. None of us hardly ever talk to each other.
Hi Rose, I can relate. I don't like being lonesome either but I know I can do something about that. It's harder for you as you have been battling health problems on top of depression. like you, I also worry about who will take care of me if I were to get sick. I have sibs too but I can't see them taking care of me either... If it is any consolation, there are many others out there that feel like we do..ironically, we are not alone.
