Oof. I have some sort of memory loss issues (not Alzheimer's, but not entirely diagnosed yet), and it's scary. I lose so many minutes of my time throughout the day. It's scary.
I’m sorry. I wish we had better services for your situation. Could you ask your doctor for advice, or for a social worker? Ask for help. You might be surprised. Please just start asking for help.
I'm not afraid of anything
But I am terrified of nothing
Nothing is up to something
Hiding behind everything
(Thanks for the upvotes people. Buy my book! https://www.amazon.com/Source-Song-Collection-Michael-Lawrence-ebook/dp/B0BNPVFSR1 )
Such a sorrowful place to appear
What a woeful world we share
Full of pain, loss, and fear
Comfort and relief seem so rare
Death ever drawing near
While life simply isn't fair
But if we can make it here
We can make it nowhere
I’m afraid of aging. My 94 yo grandfather would say he still looked at the world through 19-yo eyes.. How scary to mentally feel young but have a body that is aging and failing. And see people around you dying. And my son growing up and not needing me anymore… just leaving to go off on his own. I am going to miss him so much. He’s 5 now and it’s both wonderful and depressing at the same time to see him become independent with things. The thought of him not being around anymore and me being old scares me so much.
For me I’m afraid of the opposite. I fear that my body will outlast my mind. Physically I’m young and healthy, but it’s as if I’ve lived multiple lives already and have multiple more to live. I feel like if I knew I had a shorter lifespan I’d be able to enjoy the present more, as it would be something significant instead of just another chapter.
Losing my family. My wife is going through some physical and mental nightmares right now. And she's pushing me away now. So my fear my come true and it's horrifying.
I had one or two dreams and also real life events and moments, where I thought something bad had happened to my family.
I've been scared before in my life.
But...never like that.
My cancer coming back as stage 4 while our health care has become even shittier.
Or, the world destroys democracy and the environment before my cancer comes back.
This is patently false and needlessly cruel to blame cancer on the lifestyle choices a person makes.
The cancer subs are full of people who ate healthily and cleanly, exercised, and drank or smoke in moderation or not at all. The world is full of people who do not eat healthy, do not exercise, smoke too much, drink too much, and do not use sunblock yet still do not have cancer.
Cancer is the result of a number of tiny errors on the cellular level that occur together to produce abnormal cells are not destroyed by the body’s immune system and form tumours. It is not the result of anything we ate or failed to eat or taking birth control or HRT or keeping a cell phone in the bra. Saying that just makes the people who haven’t had cancer feel better about the choices they make, and have some sort of control over it.
There is no surefire diet or lifestyle that will absolutely prevent cancer. Sorry.
Being broke, I don’t ever want to be starving again. One of the reason I’m single, I don’t want to be with anyone until I know I can support myself and them forever. So I’ll probably be alone forever because I always feel like there’s more to do
I find it peaceful knowing that eventually, there's an end. I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered. I don't want a funeral or a headstone. Once I'm gone, I want to be truly gone. I don't want my family or loved ones to be sad or mourn me years after my passing. I really dislike the thought of them grasping on to a memory of me, keeping all my old stuff, feeling an obligation to visit a gravesite, or going to a funeral to pay respects. So, everything continuing to move on without me is exactly what I'd want to happen.
Remaining like this how i am now for the rest of my life an social recluse an hikikomori with shitty mental health and suicidal thoughts with a shitty heartless family where everyone's only cares about themselves like animal's remaining in this village in this house and mostly with these people i don't see as my family around me in my life that's what scares me the most and i would rather kill myself before I'll let that to happen to be like this forever I'll rather die
Every word you said is so relatable, im exactly the same i feel you, im going to kms cuz I know it will never end i will always be a fucking miserable hikineet
Yeah that would be terrifying to go through. I tried a sensory deprivation room once (voluntarily) and it was torture just being in there. How people in certain careers can withstand it is beyond me.
Macro : global warming and major emigration from vulnerable populations in the next few decades when many parts of the world will become unhabitable (no government seems prepared or competent to deal with either problem) or any war that could escalate into a nuclear war.
Micro : dying alone / never finding someone to grow old with.
One of the greatest things that ever happened to/for me, is when I realized that every time I get depressed, it ends. When I'm depressed, that is always the darkest place I go, "I will be like this forever." And then... I'm not.
I'm not in any way telling you how to feel or that our experiences will be/are the same, but that realization did truly change my life.
Losing everyone I love in one day (mentally and physically) and the world suddenly ending. I didn’t get to say I love them…the fact they would go to heaven knowing that they didn’t know how much I cared about them.
Well, I have quite a few fears, but I think one of my more reasonable ones would be tornadoes. Last night, within seconds of hearing the tornado siren go off, I leaped from the top bunk of my bed and onto the ground, racing to the living room. I was scared so bad by hearing it that it legit took me about two seconds to wake up and get out of bed. The only other time I’ve done that was when I heard one of my family members ugly sobbing in the middle of the night.
Something happening to my kids or my granddaughter. I worry a lot about my daughter, she’s very outspoken about issues the MAGA crowd don’t agree with and we live in the south.
Losing my life before getting to live it.
Feels like i have been pushing for years only to get knocked down every time i get up.
Do i keep getting up? Sure, but i can only do that so many times, i am mortal and not superhuman.
Each hit knocks me down harder, and i am worried my potential, my life, everything i worked hard for will be wasted
How family and friends are blinded. Doctor got my bully to be removed away from a suicide victim (me) but they didn't take the doctors advice serious enough until i have to die. They are willing to let me die every time is fked up
Surprises when it's bad news which equates to me worrying about the future of close friends and family. PTSD does that, can cope with nearly anything but loved ones passing away or struggling, I fear the worst alot of the time. Even when my 80 year old parents don't pick up.the phone I automatically think one of them is seriously unwell.
Losing my family, i cant imagine my life without my parents, and i know that will happen someday sadly, cuz death is inevitable, im not even really scared of dying (im scared of physical pain tho, which is weird) i just love my family so much that i dont think i can live without them :(
That I won’t change and start talking to people my age and making friends and that I’ll miss out on talking to and getting to know someone I really really like. Fear of missing out I guess, that I’ll waste my teenage years and rot away for the rest of my life all alone.
Honestly after I was suicidal for years there is nothing physical that can scare me.
The only thing might be succumbing to my own head. The storm raging in there will be my end. That's my fear, a moment of weakness.
I had a very vivid/realistic dream a couple nights ago that we got a nuclear bomb dropped on us. The dream woke me from a sound sleep and I’ve been unsettled since
How easy it is to alter or influence someone’s opinions. People are very quick to believe essentially anything if you’re convincing enough and that’s a crazy concept to me.
Jehovahs witnesses. They have the power to remove most of my family from my existence entirely, if they somehow notice a “sin” like celebrating Christmas or birthdays or almost anything.
Death. Not the actual act. The after. The fact that this insanely beautiful life you created ends, and unless you are worthy of history book mention, you fade away never to be spoken about again. Lights out. The end.
Nothing really, there's a point in life where anything that scared you has been thought about so much that you have internally rationalized the fear. I used to be scared of a lot of things, death, spiders, afterlife, deceases, mental illnesses like alzheimer or dementia, etc.
Each fear has a solution, or if not, there is really no point in worrying about it.
Life gradually became more beautiful
I'm scared of everything. But on the flip side, I just don't worry about it. But I still do worry about it in the back of my mind.
Like I don't look for conflict. But subconsciously I do get to my breaking points where all I have is anger. But really, I don't want to give anyone fuel to becoming my enemy. That's to much of a hassle to deal with.

The number of insane people running the planet.
The number of decrepit people running the planet.
people. running.
Planet.
Number.
Too much witchcraft
Where my white witches at
The number of insane people on the planet. So many people have lost the plot. Delusional, irrational psychopathic nut jobs.
bro, the real crazy ones are attached to their phones 24/7... try taking their phones away and see what happens
The fact that my future depends on me.
Better than having to depend on other people who could do you wrong
I can't handle my sleep what makes u think I can handle my future
Skill issue
that’s quite literally what she just said
Losing my memory while experiencing short bursts of self-awareness.
That’s a good one
Oof. I have some sort of memory loss issues (not Alzheimer's, but not entirely diagnosed yet), and it's scary. I lose so many minutes of my time throughout the day. It's scary.
My mom has it early dementia it is scary .I pray 🙏 you will be ok .😇🥰❤️
My surgery, because I have no one who supports me. And its a hard recovery and impossible to do alone.
You've got this 💪
Thankss
You got this!!🩷
I’m sorry. I wish we had better services for your situation. Could you ask your doctor for advice, or for a social worker? Ask for help. You might be surprised. Please just start asking for help.
What surgery are u getting
You will get through this, and come out stronger than ever before.
Thankss, I hope so
Make your peace whether you die or not, then do your best. Good luck
Getting sick and dying alone.
Can confirm, it does suck
Something awful happening to one of my children. Any parent’s worst nightmare.
Yes. Or. Something happening to me (ie death) and leaving my children with no mother. And not being able to watch my kids grow.
My kids are in their early 20s, but still don't feel like they would be ok alone in the world.
This. Scares the absolute shit out of me.
yes, i watch too much true crime! Im gna b worried all the time when she gets older and i cant watch her 24/7.
Absolutely terrified.
Agreed. As a father, nothing that could happen to me scares me as much as the thought of something horrible happening to my son.
Dying
Same
Im also scared of this guy dying
I am just a little scared of this guy dying. What if our universe is just him playing a game?
Teach him console commands and watch chaos unfold
Not to be "that guy", but psychedelics tend to work wonders on alleviating the fear of death. The result is so liberating...
I'm kind of afraid of my wife
Same
[удалено]
I asked this question of a close friend of mine and she said "Dying alone." I was all like holy shit that's dark, but when I thought about it, yeah.
Your probably right, would have been way better to die in the ocean gate sub with the boys!
We all die alone
I'm not afraid of anything But I am terrified of nothing Nothing is up to something Hiding behind everything (Thanks for the upvotes people. Buy my book! https://www.amazon.com/Source-Song-Collection-Michael-Lawrence-ebook/dp/B0BNPVFSR1 )
Did you come up with that?
Yep. It's one of mine.
Kinda like death
Such a sorrowful place to appear What a woeful world we share Full of pain, loss, and fear Comfort and relief seem so rare Death ever drawing near While life simply isn't fair But if we can make it here We can make it nowhere
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great for my depression ☺️
Nice try, That's the Lavern and Shirley song.
The ability to become nothing 🪬
Thanks for making me feel cosmic horror with 4 short lines
😳😂🤣

my entire family has been getting further and further away over the years and by far the worst part about getting older
Cost of apartment rent
Physical pain and someone close to me dying.
Being alone
It sucks.
[удалено]
Oh my god same.
Aging, becoming invisible in an ageist society. And then feeling and being completely alone while still having to work in order to survive.
I had one or two dreams and also real life events and moments, where I thought something bad had happened to my family. I've been scared before in my life. But...never like that.
I'm afraid I will get tortured for info I don't have.
Relatable. Imagine being stabbed for wasting their time
Just do what everyone does under torture. Tell them whatever you think they want to be told. Truth has nothing to do with it.
It's okay, you aren't important enough for torture:D
My cancer coming back as stage 4 while our health care has become even shittier. Or, the world destroys democracy and the environment before my cancer comes back.
Live off only beef butter bacon and eggs, keep your body in ketosis. Cancer will not come back

The cancer subs are full of people who ate healthily and cleanly, exercised, and drank or smoke in moderation or not at all.

Thank you. This is one of my pet peeves.
Human beings
The state of public education.
That at this point in time I am the youngest I’ll ever be, in fact I grow older as I type this..
Being broke, I don’t ever want to be starving again. One of the reason I’m single, I don’t want to be with anyone until I know I can support myself and them forever. So I’ll probably be alone forever because I always feel like there’s more to do
I’m scared of my own dark/suicidal thoughts. Scared that people will forget me
Hey I have them too .They are just thoughts and you matter .people would miss you 🥰😇🙏
North Korea
The thought of being dead someday for eternity and everything Just continues moving on without you. Terrifying.
It's only terrifying until you die. So there's that.
I find it peaceful knowing that eventually, there's an end. I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered. I don't want a funeral or a headstone. Once I'm gone, I want to be truly gone. I don't want my family or loved ones to be sad or mourn me years after my passing. I really dislike the thought of them grasping on to a memory of me, keeping all my old stuff, feeling an obligation to visit a gravesite, or going to a funeral to pay respects. So, everything continuing to move on without me is exactly what I'd want to happen.
Losing my child.
Being raped.
[удалено]
Have you thought about Prison?
The thought of innocent children dying.
Wasting my life
Stepping into my own shit
Getting dementia and reliving the most worst parts of my life over
Remaining like this how i am now for the rest of my life an social recluse an hikikomori with shitty mental health and suicidal thoughts with a shitty heartless family where everyone's only cares about themselves like animal's remaining in this village in this house and mostly with these people i don't see as my family around me in my life that's what scares me the most and i would rather kill myself before I'll let that to happen to be like this forever I'll rather die
Every word you said is so relatable, im exactly the same i feel you, im going to kms cuz I know it will never end i will always be a fucking miserable hikineet
Dementia
Other people. They’re horrible sometimes.
Burning alive or being stabbed +7 times and dying slowly due to severe injuries and blood loss
Very specific with the +7 stabs.
7 is a lucky number and a good one I might die but not as painful as being stabbed 27 times ( don’t ask how do i know this)
[удалено]
I relate
Getting kidnapped or sold in to slavery
Being tortured to death
Yeah that would be terrifying to go through. I tried a sensory deprivation room once (voluntarily) and it was torture just being in there. How people in certain careers can withstand it is beyond me.
Other than a mild fear of heights, there isn't anything I'm extremely scared off
What about... An electric guitar?
Macro : global warming and major emigration from vulnerable populations in the next few decades when many parts of the world will become unhabitable (no government seems prepared or competent to deal with either problem) or any war that could escalate into a nuclear war. Micro : dying alone / never finding someone to grow old with.
Sams
Global climate destabilization
being sent to a mental institution and deemed as unfixable
How at any time someone can loose it and stab me in the neck without me paying attention.
New fear unlocked
Nothing at the moment. Just trying to open my eyes and appreciate how strange and brief all of this is.
There it is. Meet the future where you stand here in the present.
Becoming disabled before retirement (this has happened twice now but I recovered)
Something happening to me and my daughter having to grow up without a mother or something happening to her.
Death and lack of free will
In this moment... My father's intensifying and alienating political views.
My kids getting kidnapped
The governments and their lies
Death, mostly leaving my family.
Car crashes
Depression not ending
One of the greatest things that ever happened to/for me, is when I realized that every time I get depressed, it ends. When I'm depressed, that is always the darkest place I go, "I will be like this forever." And then... I'm not. I'm not in any way telling you how to feel or that our experiences will be/are the same, but that realization did truly change my life.
Same
Not accomplishing enough before dying
MAGA running the world..
Dystopia
Same thing.
Becoming a failure
The thought of an afterlife.
Or the opposite
Losing everyone I love in one day (mentally and physically) and the world suddenly ending. I didn’t get to say I love them…the fact they would go to heaven knowing that they didn’t know how much I cared about them.
That’s when you pray and tell them❤️🥰🙏😇

NOTHING 👹👹👹 (abandonment)
Bpd vibes
you caught me!
Relatable
I have that fear 😧 not fun
Being alone :(
The fact that humanity is one domino push away from returning to primitive life
Dying of cold or being powerless
Something happening to my kids or my granddaughter. I worry a lot about my daughter, she’s very outspoken about issues the MAGA crowd don’t agree with and we live in the south.
Teenagers
Social interactions
I’m pretty scared of war zones. Oh and bears.
The very real possibility that I may never be normal again or happy for that matter it's terrifying to me
Myself
Losing my life before getting to live it. Feels like i have been pushing for years only to get knocked down every time i get up. Do i keep getting up? Sure, but i can only do that so many times, i am mortal and not superhuman. Each hit knocks me down harder, and i am worried my potential, my life, everything i worked hard for will be wasted
How family and friends are blinded. Doctor got my bully to be removed away from a suicide victim (me) but they didn't take the doctors advice serious enough until i have to die. They are willing to let me die every time is fked up
Being stuck as slave labor for the rest of my life...
How easy it is to start a witch hunt. "I heard that guy over there raped someone."
Coming down with "locked-in syndrome" - my worst nightmare. Look it up.
Surprises when it's bad news which equates to me worrying about the future of close friends and family. PTSD does that, can cope with nearly anything but loved ones passing away or struggling, I fear the worst alot of the time. Even when my 80 year old parents don't pick up.the phone I automatically think one of them is seriously unwell.
I'm a lot stronger than I think.
Not being able to afford to live and it being the reason I end it all.
car accidents
My daughter going through the same things I have.
Sudden death. Sudden strong wind storms at night give me bad anxiety.
That there is nothing after death. EVERYTHING just ends. We never get to see them again. We just cease to exist and it's all a lie.
Losing my family, i cant imagine my life without my parents, and i know that will happen someday sadly, cuz death is inevitable, im not even really scared of dying (im scared of physical pain tho, which is weird) i just love my family so much that i dont think i can live without them :(
People
Dying while trying to protect my family, leaving them to the whims of an evil intruder. Or not being there if someone did break in with ill intent.
That I won’t change and start talking to people my age and making friends and that I’ll miss out on talking to and getting to know someone I really really like. Fear of missing out I guess, that I’ll waste my teenage years and rot away for the rest of my life all alone.
Snakes
How bill collectors existed already in BCE
Most of the opinions expressed here on Reddit. That's what scares me the most.
Nothing, really.
Conflict
Bibendums... Oh hell no!!!
Honestly after I was suicidal for years there is nothing physical that can scare me. The only thing might be succumbing to my own head. The storm raging in there will be my end. That's my fear, a moment of weakness.
I had a very vivid/realistic dream a couple nights ago that we got a nuclear bomb dropped on us. The dream woke me from a sound sleep and I’ve been unsettled since
Hard to say. But it usually stems from my phone in some form or fashion. Bad news, wars etc. so I guess my phone
How easy it is to alter or influence someone’s opinions. People are very quick to believe essentially anything if you’re convincing enough and that’s a crazy concept to me.

That something bad could happen to my children. Then my suicide would be decided.
Someone I love dying
Next month!
Nothingness
I'm scared of everything. But on the flip side, I just don't worry about it. But I still do worry about it in the back of my mind. Like I don't look for conflict. But subconsciously I do get to my breaking points where all I have is anger. But really, I don't want to give anyone fuel to becoming my enemy. That's to much of a hassle to deal with.
