I do that a lot with people that I love. I always imagine what it will be like when they die, and then I start crying. I also obsess about my family when I expect them to be at my house or wherever and they show up late. I always think they are in a car accident. It is all about thinking negative. If you start to think positive, thoughts like these will not come up as much. Just enjoy being young, and try not to worry so much. i know it is hard, but if you start to say and think positive things it will eventually just become the way you are.

It sounds to me like you have a fright of being alone. Do you have these thoughts all the time or is it only when you have an arguement or disagreement over something? A lot of times a child will feel or have many different thoughts like your's when they have had an arguement with their parents. Most of the time it is because of guilt if the child realizes that maybe they were wrong in the arguement. Or it could also be because of a movie or film you may have watch earlier in the evening making you think about certain situations. Talk to you parents about these thoughts, they should be able to comfort you about this situation.

This is normal if it does not go beyond the limits. There is no way to avoid certain situations in life that we cannot control. Just try not to let this get in your way to a happy life and try to be as safe as possible and let your parents know that you care for their safety and well being. I went through this when I was young and things happened and I had to accept them. Being a good person to all those you know and love will help you in accepting certain events in life, because when you love you don't have to regret any bad feelings towards those you loved when something goes wrong.

i often used to feel that way. i was so scared of losing my parents that just about every moring before school i would tell them i was sick just so one of them would have to stay home with me. if i did go to school i would go to the nurses office and make them call one of parents. i was so scared to lose them. i am to this day and i am 23 yrs old. i love my parents very much and i will be devastated when they do leave for good. one thing to realize though is that if something happens to them and they do not return rest assured that they know how much you love them even though you may not say it all that often and that they will be in a much better place and that they will definately be looking over your shoulder to guide you in the right direction. have you tried to talk to them about this issue? if you haven't try to because it will help you feel better. that's what i ultimately did and my fear is still there but i don't cry at night anymore because of it. good luck and try to get a good night's sleep.

I think that is a perfectly normal reaction and it only serves to strengthen your bond with your parents . Tell them you love them right now or every chance you get . Appreciate the fact that one day you will be able to reflect back on all the memories you make now . So take advantage of that and interact with them as much as possible . May God bless you on your quest .

Honey, I used to feel the same way. But, now I'm 48 and my parents are still here. Divorced, but still here. I know I will lose them one day, but age helps. It can happen at any time, but have faith in your parents to do the best thing for them and for you. Talk to them about this. I'm sure they will listen and discuss your fears with you. I wish you could let me know how it goes.
I wish you and your parents the best. Good luck and may God's Peace be with you.

It is pretty normal...my daughter has anxiety attacks because she worried somehting will happen to me. She is talking to a counselor and that is helping ...she also checked out a few places online ..sort of like support groups and that helps too, just knowing someone else feels the same way you do. Try to talk to someone about it....it will help you a lot.

That's really sweet. I wouldn't say it's normal, but that doesn't mean it's not healthy. If you're doing it very often, though, you might be overly worried about it. In that case, you could talk to someone to help you relax about it a bit.
Besides that, I think it's wonderful that you have that love for your parents.

You're going to cause yourself to have medical problems. Relax. With anyone in the world we can go at any time. Just treasure the moments now and enjoy your time with your parents. Everything will be just fine. Relax

I think it's normal. You shouldn't try to have those bad thoughts in your head though. Enjoy the time you have with them, eventually one day they will go and you wouldn't want to only think of that. They would want you to be strong. It's great to have a lot that strong but don't think about the bad thoughts.
