My cats are like my children to me. You see, when I was six my mother abandoned me after years of physical and emotional abuse. My attachment is to my cats, because I don't want to put them through the same thing I went through with my mother. I love my cats more than I love anyone else, and of course considering my condition, I don't love myself at all.

I just saw my therapist today. Same old, same old, except its the Christmas season, which depresses me even more. I have difficulty (to put it mildly) accepting that other people can have and enjoy happiness, when I can't even remember anymore what it was like to be happy. My current diagnosis dates from February 1998 to present, but I was first diagnosed with depression in February, 1980. I have little doubt that I've been depressive to some degree nearly all of my life. I am as serious as can be.

Death Prepared

Jeffgson I cannot say that I understand exactly how you feel, but I do have an idea. I belive that the question this thread asks is not to insight thoughts of death but rather thoughts of how you are living since it asks if you are prepared. The only way one can be prepared is to be doing things, thus you have to live. Preparation for me is living a life that would mean that my Creator is happy with me, I think this is a life long process, thus wondering when death will grasp is no where on my calendar since i am not prepared. I believe I stated earlier that how you answer this topic has a lot to do with your spiritual self, therefore I ask... do you believe in life after death? A Creator? A Heavenly Father? Maybe you would like to continue this under a different thread heading, I know I would.

I am definately not ready to die yet - spiritually or temporally.

I feel spiritually I don't have enough faith. I still, every now and again, do the what if game. What if the Church isn't true, what if there is really not a God, what if religion is something the human mind invented because it couldn't handle it's own mortality.

Now, before you all die of shock....I do that "game" every now and again, but I really do know better. I have had numerous occasions where the truthfulness of what I believe has been manifested to me. I know my Church is true, I know their is a God, I know it isn't something all made up, but.....still I am human and my "knowing" is really by faith and not perfect knowledge like knowing my motorcyle is red. Know what I mean? So, I am not ready spiritually to die, because occasionally I still suffer slight doubts, not ones I dwell on, but I want to reach a point where they never enter my mind. I am not sure that will ever happen, just because of my nature, because it shouldn't happen now with all that I have experienced personally.

Now, temporally, I want to see my grandson grow up. I want my son more settled. I want him to be able to make it on his own financially before I die. I want to live and do some things I still haven't had time or money to accomplish.....

So, no, I am not prepared yet!

Tenaheff, I think the 'What If' questions are normal, but seek only to reassure ourselves of what we are doing.

I am Prepared

When I cross the Bar of the Great Blue Beyonder I know that my Maker, without pause or ponder, Will welcome my soul. For my record is scar-less I've eaten no oysters in months that are R-less.

Prepared for Death

WHo could be ready for death? I met a couple of people who were. This lady from my Church who had cancer, everytime I would visit her she would tell me she could not wait for God to take her with him, she was so peaceful when she used to say that....for me, oh gosh, I could not imagine my life without my son and husband. I want to die when I'm very very old...yes like 120 years old.

I don't think you can ever be REALLY ready to die. You can prepare your affairs so your wishes can be carried out, but when the time comes it's hard to imagine what would go through your mind.
I understand the pain death can cause. My brother committed suicide in 97. He was 25. I will never really know why? This is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with and 7 years later it's not getting any easier. I just hope he made the right desigion for himself.

I don't think that I'm ready for death, there's a few things that I feel I need to accomplish. I don't fear death, although I do fear the process of dying. I have been on the downward spiral before and it's not pretty but managed to get through it. If anybody wants to talk about that kinda stuff, feel free to message me. I'm not a psychologist or a preacher, but might be able to help.
