My Ongoing Fear

Hey guys, Liam here. I just wanted to talk about something that has deeply affected me for a long time now and that something...is my fear of losing my family...Basically, from when I was born to when I was 13, I was a youthful, happy person...but when I was 14, so this was in September 2019, my Nan had a fall and broke her arm. This was something I didn't see, but I was there when it happened...I had my two cousins with me at the time, boy and girl and my girl cousin actually witnessed Nan fall which deeply traumatized her...anyways...point is, after this incident, in 2020, I lost my Grandpa and my Nan's best friend five months apart from each other so in the months of July and Februrary...then in 2021, as a couple of you may know, my dear friend was murdered in September of that year...these three deaths all mean something to me because they've given me this belief that I'm going to lose my family and if I do lose them, the only option I'll have left is to end my life because I can't live without my family...especially my Nan and Pop...they're not just a part of my life, they are my life and they're a part of me...I love my Nan and Pop and all the rest of my family dearly...my fear has gotten so bad that I've started having nightmares about losing them all, seeing them all dead, me being beaten up by my enemies, and me being killed in an electric chair ever since Nan's fall...I guess that's why I feel like I need a girl I can talk to so I'll never be alone... *Crying* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I also don’t think that they’re hallucinations I’m dealing with but more so visual thoughts or fears.

Hey guys, Liam here. I just wanted to explain something about some of my previous posts in regards to me wanting a girl mate. The reason I keep bringing this up in all my posts is because I feel really depressed about not having a girl in my life to be able to talk to. Like I mentioned, I want a girl who I can hang out with in a similar way to my best friend and she can come with me to family gatherings and stuff like that and most of all, I want this girl to be able to give me a hug from time to time. So yeah that’s why I keep bringing it up in all my posts, because this is the main reason I am feeling this way.

Dear Liam~
I'm very pleased you have found someone you can confide in and who will listen. Such a person may understand, or may like my partner do their best and simply be kind and constant -it makes huge difference. If that blossoms into a romance that would be great too. Do remember serious talk is fine, but just as important is fun!
I saw before that you have been very worried about the loss of your Nan and Pop and those thoughts have been a big part of your life. It can be very natural to worry about the death of loved ones, particularly after the death of your friend and your Nan's fall.
I'm not sure you are talking about hallucinations, but more reveries where you think of something to the exclusion of everything else -and many in fact conjure up happy or unhappy endings. Fear of loss is very powerful. Can I suggest you talk to your Nan about this seriously and become reminded she is still here and the person she always was.
If you would like to let us know how you get on that would be great

Dear Liam~
OK now you have had the deep discussion - which sounds as if it went well, try for some fun with her.
Make you both feel better as I'd be pretty sure your Nan worries about you, so it would make a nice getaway from those serious things.
