The trouble is even though I see myself in the same pattern as I’ve been in before, I can never break the cycle of ‘this time I’m right’. I always think I’ll be able to but when it comes to it, I just can’t. I feel like I can’t leave things to see how they turn out because I am so worried about dying and leaving my kids. I’m so sick of being in this same cycle time after time.
Hi cattia, it wasn't my intention to embarrass you - it was about perspective.
I understand your fear about your kids lovely. That was my fear too, and nothing has scared me more than leaving my kids before my job is done.
It helped me to accept that, while I cannot control when I die, I do get to minimise the risk of dying prematurely by living as healthily as possible and also I have control over how I want to spend the time I do have - which is now.

I think that ^^this^^ is the key to living. X
