What should I do if I am afraid that I will get sick when I am old?

Before I went to college and came into contact with medicine, I felt in good health, except that I often caught a cold and my immunity was poor. I never thought about what I would do if one day I was ill, if I was too ill to live.

Now in my junior year, with the deepening of studying medicine, I know more and more diseases When I see patients suffering from various strange or simple or complex causes in the hospital, I always associate myself with whether I have this disease or not after talking about a certain disease, and then compare some of my symptoms with various diagnostic complications of this disease. It seems that everyone is right. Well, I'm getting more and more suspicious and scared. Once, we talked about diabetes, which is very common among people in China. My father and grandmother both suffered from this disease in our family. Objectively speaking, middle-aged and elderly people get this disease much better than young people, and most of them are more dangerous. Moreover, if you are really unlucky to get this disease, your fate in this life may change, you may not be able to do what you want to do, you may not have children or even get married in this life. It's not as simple as you think. Unfortunately, you really have diabetes at a young age. At that time, listening to the teacher describe the causes and symptoms one by one, the fear gradually enlarged. In me, there are four symptoms that are likely to match. That night, I was very depressed. Even when I talked to my mother on the phone at night, I couldn't help telling her that I suspected that I had diabetes, and my voice was a little crying. I'm sure my mother was shocked on the other end of the phone. Maybe in an instant, she also replaced my hypothesis, although I didn't even make any diagnosis at this time.

The phone was cut off. After an hour, my mother called me again and said the most common thing, "If you are really sick, then we will treat you, won't you live?" In addition, diabetes is not a terminal disease. With the rapid development of medicine, diabetes is not so difficult to treat. At most, our quality of life will deteriorate, and the sky will not fall. "

After this phone call, I feel that my fear has gradually diminished. After I hung up the phone, I began to think about it myself. This is the simplest question. There may be accidents in life, misfortune in the next second, loss of life in an instant, sudden discovery of some disease, and then life may be different. You may never be able to walk, do what you like, marry and have children with your lover, take medicine and have injections.

We may be able to avoid all man-made risks, but we can't escape a joke of life.

So, what's the point of studying hard and doing my homework today? I may be dead in the next second. What's the use?

I thought about it myself slowly, and I may not have a definite answer. Yes, I may face birth, illness, death and even the next second. If I check the results of diabetes, I really have diabetes. I think I will definitely cry and I will be scared. Then I will call my mother slowly and tell her the news. Then I think my mother will have a hard time accepting it, and the next day she will fly to my side to do various tests and make a diagnosis. When we finally face this result, we should see a doctor and start taking medicine. Yes, maybe the living standard at home will be worse than before. I may not be able to buy more things I want, and then I won't die right away. I just want to extend my life by drugs from today. I will finish my college studies. I should cherish my college time more and make every day as useful as possible. Then, I will find a job where I can withstand the intensity. I may learn a language by myself, read more books, have more conversations with myself and communicate with friends. I can't let myself be trapped by the disease. I need someone else's sunshine to shine on me. Maybe I won't get married, but if possible, I will fall in love? I will go where I want to go. If I can bear it, I will turn one day into two, plan every day more than I thought before, and try my best to live every day well. Sometimes, I may cry, but I must not let myself have the idea of death. I still want to live.

Right? If you are really sick, these should all be possible ideas. I can still let myself face it, instead of being helpless, crying, desperate and waiting for death.

I think it's okay to be afraid of these things in your twenties. You think about them because you think too much, but maybe you don't think about the story because you don't think enough. If something happens, I am not a person who will give up. I will accept the blow of fate sadly, but try my best to live on.

And what if life doesn't bring these misfortunes? Should I be grateful that I live healthily every day, and then live this blessed day well?

Every day without dancing is a disappointment to life. I just feel it now. The answer to this question must be much more complicated than I can think of now, so no matter how complicated, my thinking brings me that if I live, I must live a warm and beautiful life. Moreover, the slogan of health first is really no joke. I sincerely hope that you and I can be healthy and safe.

By the way, I was scared all night and went to the hospital early the next morning to check my blood sugar. The result is normal, and I'm not sick. This result deserves my gratitude and a better life today. So I came to Zhihu for the first time to write an answer, hoping to share my thoughts with more people.
