Lately I've been having these unwelcome thoughts about death. I don't think I'm depressed or anything but I might have mild anxiety. I just find myself thinking about the human condition and hating that I might DIE one day and I might leave my beautiful dcs alone in this harsh world where no-one cares will be good enough to look after them. My dad died he was so abusive my mum breathed a sigh when he diedbut my mum and all my siblings still live so this is not because I've been grieved too much.
I also suffer from very low motivation levels thinking what's the point of it all and I think only the immeasurable love i feel for my dcs is the major driving force spearheading my opposition to gravitythat keeps me going so I need to get a grip and continue with my studies instead of wasting time wallowing
I'm early thirties,very healthy although anyone can die of any cause healthy or not These thoughts never used to cross pollutemy mind, say a few months ago. But now they have become recurrent and somewhat haunting to the point I'm wondering whether it's normal or not?
Is this normal?
Any parents out there troubled haunted by thoughts like these or should I just get over myself?
What do you think?
