having a conversation today with my mental health manager

Possible trigger:

was telling her that i'd sorted out my funeral, and I knew how I wanted to die, and all that.

her: you're far too young to think about that. far too young

no, i'm not

I like to think of it as, "prepared"

no one knows when you're time is up so it's good to have it all figured out, right?

(well that's my take on it)

i'm not, " too young", at all

i've known people who thought they'd live to 50 or 60but something happens and they die before they hit 30/40, sometimes younger

[venusss]

Well when you`re dead .... you are dead. You will not care what happens. Do not waste your time alive thinking of that

[gayleggg]

You are right it's never too early to start planning. I'm older but I have my funeral preplanned and already have my headstone. It's a good idea to get a will, too. I had mine written up when I was 25, because I had my daughter to think about. Just don't dwell on it to the point that it takes away the joy of today.

[MickeyCheeky]

I don't think it's a bad think starting to think about it now.. especially if you're depressed, you don't know what to expect from the future

[Fuzzybear]

Wondering what would have been a helpful response from her? Is she open to feedback from you, to help her grow and change as a professional?
(Only answer if ok)

Mental health manager , they obviously suck at there job!
I never thought about death and dying until it smacked me in the face about 10 years ago , then in 2013 I flat lined in my sleep at the ripe age of 44 ,we must face it , address it and be prepared , I have my DPOA appointed and will written , and my wishes known, so if it sneakes up on me I'm ready.

I'm young as hell and I have things prepared. Didn't think I'd need to but when cancer smacked me in the face at eighteen, it brought up a lot of questions. I have it in place but decided that I'm not going to spend whatever time I have left alive thinking about what happens after I die. I can't do that. There's too much to live for now.

[BadWolfC]

I think it's good to start planning... I for one wouldn't want to leave all of it up to my loved ones to deal with, the easier it is for them, the better.

I agree Shattered. I'm 42 and my life expectancy is 45. I'm ready to go anyways because I'm tired of fighting for nothing. There's such cruelty, selfishness, and greed in the world, that it's too much to bare. Understanding this, gave me the realization that I will never find the only thing I've ever wanted. So, I just do my thing till the reaper comes calling......and he better be wearing athletic protection.
