So I'm the kind of person that OP would probably hate. I'm 22 and I feel like I'm already one foot into the grave. I KNOW it's irrational, but that doesn't stop me from getting seriously anxious about it (when I'm not feeling apathetic towards life, anyway).

I don't know why I feel like my life is already halfway over. I suppose depression could be blamed for it. Or maybe it's just that I always had a feeling I was going to die young. That might be the depression talking, too, though.

Anyone else feel this way?

Off-topic (sorta) but I often obsess over death. For example, I often daydream about different ways I might die and think about what my funeral/burial is going to be like.

I'm not overly paranoid about it, but I do fear death a bit. I don't like not knowing where my "spirit" is going to go when I die.

I also think I'm going to die at a very young age. Before 40, definitely.

For some reason, I always had it in my head that I was going to die by 25. I was staying up all night around my 25th birthday worried that if I went to sleep I'd never wake up. I think I'd been letting life slip by because I assumed it was all going to end soon, and I'm not exactly over that. I've been trying to live my life since then but I'm sorry to say I've relapsed a bit lately.

YES. YESYESYESYES.

Yes.

I'm going to be 25 in a few months. A few of my classmates from high school have already died from unfortunate accidents. I've been thinking of drawing up a will for my birthday.

I'm also depressed, heh.

I'm almost 22 and I'm akjshdjsfjfkjbfe'ing in anticipation. For some irrational reason, 22 seems so much more mature than 21.

However, I remember that when I was 19, I was DREADING my 20th birthday because I felt like I had wasted the leeway for silly behavior that my teenage years gave and now could no longer do idiotic stuff and have it waved off. Since I had never done much idiotic stuff when I was a teenager, I felt like "NOOOOOO WHHHYYYYY I TOTALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO BE AN IDIOT AND NOW IT'S GOOOOOONNNE."

Also, I really wanted to lose my virginity before I turned 20. I think back then, I had got it into my head that I shouldn't be "the kind of person" who lost their virginity "late." I soon realized I had been watching too many American sitcoms and my perspective on age was completely screwed up. Fuck 'em.

I'm 25, and my solution to this problem is to just act exactly as idiotic as I am at the time and not worry if it's age appropriate. I do things that are me-appropriate. WHO THE HELL AM I TRYING TO IMPRESS, MAN? XD

IMO, it's okay to feel that way since you know it's not rational. I'm 36 now, but when I was 22 I felt like the course of my life was pretty much set. It's not, of course, but it's hard convincing your brain that after all you've been through, you're barely a third of the way there.

DA

This! I'm just hoping I can hang onto what's left of my health for the next half(?). If I'm lucky, and I get half...and it's a quality half....

TL;DR: You will find much else to worry about, 22-year-old anon! Dying young will not be one of them.....

I had a feeling that I was going to die young, and I did not (obviously). One of my coworkers in his twenties also told me that he always had a feeling he was going to die young. He, also, is still kicking and we're now officially middle-aged.

It'll happen, or it won't, but being anxious about it won't change anything either way. So try not to worry about it - next thing you know, you'll be tottering along to join me in the nursing home. :)
