In some way this may be why I went into journalism -to tell stories about other people and not recognize my own. All in the name of objectivity. Even recently, I notice that in photos I'm not present, but behind the camera. Ironic and sad, in a sense. Worth chatting about. These thoughts scare me too and I appreciate you helping me see them in my own world through your story sharing. Good luck tackling these on your end with Morpheus. I feel the same way, Scott.

That “small constant voice” describes it perfectly I think.  It’s hard to not hear it when thinking of things, I’m not sure mine will ever totally go away.  I hope it does and I hope yours does too

I inherited everything from my dad why would I also inherit his early death.   I never really told anyone, but it is that small constant voice in my head.  Why it didn't bother me in too much in my 20's because 40 was "ancient".  Now that I'm 39 it really bothers me and impacts making close relationships, decisions for me and my wife, and my career choices.  I hope for the best but it is that constant voice in my head that never stops.  I enjoyed your post and can relate to how you feel.  My dad was Type 1 and died at the age of 41.  My entire life I have had to lived with how much I look like, sound like and have my dads personality.  Why I am proud of those resemblances to my dad, it also had the effect of making me think I would never live past 40.
