I've always had a weird hunch I'm going to die aged 32 - and I'm 31.

[Schleep]

Kind of that really
Was once asked in amongst a series of random questions as a silly questionnaire "do you have a secret hunch of when you're going to die" and I replied automatically "at 32" at it's sort of stuck.
Have joked about it for a few years (had to stop after my DP got really cross about it).
Thing is - I turn 32 in July, and whilst my logical brain is trying to be reasonable (how could I possibly know?) stranger things have happened, and my Mum said the least reassuring thing ever when I spoke about it a couple of years ago which was "if you keep thinking it, you'll end up causing it subconciously"

So, Mumsnet, AIBU?

Fun update - I'm still alive. I'm 33 - turn 34 in July.
I had a spectacularly shite 2023, so think I potential died internally, but did physically survive!
Hurray!
(A lot of these replies did make me feel better at the time, so thank you)

My friend used to tell me I wouldn't see 40. We used to have a laugh about it -we had an odd sense of humour. I'm well past that now, but she died young.

It's all nonsense.

Congratulations!

I was told I would die before my 40th birthday by some reading my palm when I was 18. Seemed quite reasonable to me at the time.

I’m 66.

My grandma had long term health issues and kept going to psychics. One of them told her she will die at 55 years old and she really believed that and was telling everyone that, years in advance.
When she turned 54, she stopped taking all her medication as she was going to die within a year anyway, and guess what happened? She died before her 55th birthday because she stopped her medication.
This is a good example of a self fulfilling prophecy, please be careful what you say to yourself as your mind and therefore decisions you make based on this will make it a reality.

I realised half way through this was an old thread. Delighted to hear you are still with us OP! As others have said these intrusive thoughts can be part of OCD.

You, of course, have permission to come back stressed out at 95 to tell us all you are worried again (if I'm around I will be telling the Guiness Book of Records my longevity is down to a lifetime of eating chocolate and playing Wordle whilst avoiding housework and generally procrastinating on MN)

I've always thought I'm going to be gone before 55.

I'm 52 and in November I almost did, but they got me to the operating theatre in time.

Let's see how close I get this year.

Yay OP! I knew you'd make it

Well done on making it Op

It was convinced my number was up last October, about midway through. Also still here

Before I read this, I was going to suggest seeing it as a sort of rebirth/end of one era and start of a next.

Is there anything you would really like to do/try/complete/change? This is your time!

Thank God you’re still with us 👏🏻

I was always convinced I was never going to make 40 for some reason (I’m now 45).

Maybe the old you died and the new one is in her place

My mum had a premonition years ago she was going to die in a white car. She actually died in hospital

It's funny reading back my posts now because shit really hit the fan that March and I was clearly already stressed to the max in that Feb. I wouldn't blame the Universe if it had misread 2023 as a death year for me!

Glad that I only saw this thread today, so only had to scroll for the update. I had an aunt who always used to say she wouldn't see 70. Neither of her parents did. She's nearly 90 now.

I just gave a thumbs up to a post on page one. They will think I’m nuts. I didn’t notice the date. Anyway I’m glad you were wrong and still alive 👏

My mother knew a woman who died at 32 and my mother was convinced that she would also die at that age. She lived to be 102

I didn't notice the date when I commented. I'm glad you're still here
