[quote=Anonymous]My identical twin dying of a genetic based cancer in her early 40s. It was stressful because, after losing twins to pre-mature labor just a few years before, I was finally raising two toddlers, while being my sister's primary caregiver for 4 years, all the while terrified that I was also going to get cancer. It's been 10 years since she died, and it's still incredibly sad but I also lived in fear for years of every bone pain and stomach ache. As I get older, I just fear death less now, figuring it's inevitable. I take the care of myself the best I can, but otherwise just try to live my life. My anxiety has eased on its own. When it was more frequent, and when it gets bad, I make sure I stop drinking completely for a while, work on getting good sleep, and practice anxiety-reducing exercises, like breathing and meditation. I really prefer to do my own work than use medications. I just don't think they are good long-time fix. [/quote]
