I don't think you are alone there Cattia, most HA comes from a 'fear of death and dying'. I think it was earlier in this thread that I said that I was certainly told that by my doctor 40 years ago, it could have been another thread though.I still think at the root of all this though is my underlying fear of death and my belief that I cannot deal with serious illness.
There are people who have to face terminal illness and have to face my worst fears and I can't help thinking that one day I will be one of those people and I won't be able to cope.
Well, sorry to say this in a way that might be triggering, or enlightening lol - but you are already facing it. We are all heading to the terminal conclusion, that is part of living. There is no getting away from it for any single one of us. So, some people are 'terminal' earlier than some others, but we are all 'terminal' if you know what I mean.
