I'm in my late 20's now and Ever since I was in my teens I always had the feeling I'm not going to live to be an old women , I would like to reach old age and see my children grow up and be happy .

Anyone else ?

ImAGoofyGoober · 23/05/2018 18:52

Me too. Maternal grandmother and mother died around 60, I have a feeling I will do the same.

GlassSuppers · 23/05/2018 18:54

Yep. I've always thought I'll die in my 30s from a heart attack.
No idea why!

Maybe it is just difficult to imagine. I can see myself in my sixties but find it hard to imagine myself as a 90 year old. The is a part of me that just doesn't want to think about it.

I always thought I'd die at 33. I just knew it.

Today? I'm nearly 50.

Two months after my 35th birthday I suddenly had the oddest feeling that I was exactly halfway through my life. I'll have to wait and see! I just hope neither of the DGC are doing important exams whenever the time comes.

Strangely I have the opposite. I’m pretty sure i’ll Reach at least 100! I’m careful to pay up my pension and take care of my physical health because although I have no desire to give up work or retire before I lose my health, I think even if I work to 70 i’ll Still have at least 30 years left! My paternal grandmother lived to 99. I may be completely wrong of course but think I may as well plan for the best and if I go sooner at least i’ll Be a lovely fit-looking corpse! Lol.

I also have a feeling ill die younger than 60. But i hate the thought of dying and leaving everyone around me and not being part of the world anymore. And then I think if my partner was to die first id hate that too because I'd miss him so much. Urgh getting old is not fun.

I have this but I dont mind it

It's not so much a spooky thing as just something I've always thought but I've had poor health since I was kid so there must be a psych link

elephantoverthehill · 27/05/2018 22:44

I'm 53. I used to smoke and was told I would die in my 40s. I am just now taking my pension a bit seriously.

LighthouseSouth · 27/05/2018 23:06

PS I mean a psychological,link not psychic link

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 27/05/2018 23:11

My DH always had a strong feeling that he wouldn't live past his twenties, he's nearly 60 now which shows that pessimism isn't always correct.

Missingthesea · 27/05/2018 23:31

Thank you BlackAmericanoNoSugar that's very cheering

I'm so sure I won't reach retirement age that Ive just spent the past four and a half years on a career break and living off savings(original plan was 12 months)
Did 20 odd years. Got another twenty odd to go. Was a nice little half time break but work beckons in the new year.
The fact my mother and quite a few aunts got dementia in their late sixties played on my mind and I was determined not to be cheated out of the workfree sensation.
I can die (early) happy now.
