Thanks a lot for raising this issue. Given a chronic illness and a disability thinking of my future can be a source of fear, desperation, and mental torture. Sometimes I can get read of those thoughts with changing deliberately the focus in my mind, like an exercise, it improves with the time. I cannot avoid having those thoughts but sometimes I can divert them
