Sometimes, I get these random spontaneous thoughts of my parents dying. Like they would go somewhere and I would just think to myself, "What if this is the last time I see them??" It's AWFUL!! I can't even IMAGINE the pain I would endure to go through losing my parents so young (I'm in my early 20s). It hurts just to think that...
Like when my dad goes to work, I wonder if that's the last time I see him... so I make sure I give him a hug and say "I love you" and smile at him before he leaves.
And with my mom today... she had to drop her friend off. I rode in the car with her so she wouldn't be by herself on the way back home. And if something happens to HER, something would happen to me too... and I would atleast suffer with her and she wouldn't be alone...
My mind is twisted. I hate thinking these things. Do you guys have these random thoughts?! And how do you make them stop... : (

I also am in my early 20's and I get these random thoughts once in a while aswell.Someitmes it's about my fiance,or mother or even my child....It's like"omg! what if this happend and how would i feel and what would I do,i couldn't handle it if somehting happend ot them" I've even started crying just thinking about it at times,but you have to just take a breath,realize that right now....everything is fine and the person is alive and all is well so why not just cross that bridge if and when you come to it.If you can't stop think about it,just try putting in yout favorite c.d or movies....write about it or do anything that will take your mind off of that particular sublect.I know this always helps me....You just need to snap yourself back to reality once in a while and realize that it's just in your head and it's just a hypothetical thought so no need ot get so upset about it at the moment..Hope this helps

I have thoughts like that, too and they're getting more often. It really scares me! My parents go on this "date night" thing every Friday and they stay out until anywhere from 12:00 to 2:00 in the morning! Me and my sister usually take my mom's car and stay out until about 10:00 and I don't really worry about my parents that often because we are always doing something. And then when we get home, I start worrying about my parents getting in a car wreck (because recently a 13 year old girl from my school died in a car accident). All I do to calm myself down is think about what they are doing and that they are probably like in the movie theatre watching a movie or something. But if that doesn't work, my sister talks to me and tries to calm me down, also watching a movie at home or something helps me stop thinking about them dying or something.

I can definitly relate to this. I have always had these thoughts through out my life. Except my get very graphic and keep me up at night. I actually really concentrated on how to get rid of at least the nightmares...so I said I'm gonna stop watching the news. and you know what...the nightmares stopped. Like at my place of work, it's in a kind of bad part of town and I wear a gun and I always have horrible thoughts on that too. Like situations that could happen to me or my daughter, whom I bring with me....and I'm only 25. So if you figure it out please let me know aswell.

I think you have serious issues and need to get some help. Nobody but nobody in their 20s should be so reliant on their parents. Get out and get a life of your own. You must be driving them crazy. We all have to travel down these roads and no matter what you do, you wont stop it. So stop worrying about it and let nature take its own course;. Life is for living. Not worrying about dying.

Yes, I have random thoughts and they can be scary. The Buddhist have a saying about this. Thoughts are just thoughts. They come and go thousands of times a day. It's not the thought that matters, its the importance we place upon them. Don't let thoughts like this remain in your mind, let them come in one ear and out the other. It really is that simple.

Lookat you, growing up so fast.
You are coming to terms with mortality. Everyone sies and your brain is just figuring that out.
That is why young people do stupid things that get them killed is because their brains have not yet come to grip with mortality.
This is a right of passage and you will either come to terms with it or go crazy. You are not alone however.

Its called anxiety.
See a doctor for some medication to make these anxious thoughts go away.
it doesn't mean your crazy, just in need of some help.
