I would love to be able to make sure I made every last minute count and experienced everything I wanted to before I went. Im a procrastinator, so having a deadline is always good for me so that I actually do things.

I think I'd start freaking out and having anxiety/panic attacks all the time. I know death is inevitable, but knowing when my deadline is - eek! It's been a fear fear of mine since a child. *shudders* HLK208 on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2112416 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 23:11:03 +0000 HLK208 2112416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Noooo!!!! simplyfelicity on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2112405 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:41:03 +0000 simplyfelicity 2112405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not even a little bit. 2littlepumpkins on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2112401 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:32:19 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2112401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, too scary and too much pressure/stress.

It would be more for loved ones than for myself. Having lost loved ones both unexpectedly and knowing it was coming within a certain time frame like from cancer it definitely was much easier when you knew it was coming. We didn't have the regrets of not saying what we wanted to say, we weren't blindsided with shock, we soaked in every last memory. I think there would be more time to prepare your loved ones, husband and kids with being gone too. So sad and morbid to think about though! catlady on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2112001 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:24:29 +0000 catlady 2112001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I actually thought about this alot before posting a reply. My first gut reaction was a big NO. But after thinking about it more and remembering all of the lost opportunities and regrets I have from the period before my mom died (the doctors thought she had a lot more time than she actually did), I would have to say that actually I would like to know if I could. I think it would be freeing in a way, even though it would be scary at the same time. illumina on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111904 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:58:03 +0000 illumina 2111904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way!

Knowing that I could know but I didn't would actually be worse for me. artsyfartsy on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111712 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:15:04 +0000 artsyfartsy 2111712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely not!! It would weigh on my mind everyday that I had x amount of days left. Even if there were a lot of them. It would always be in the back of my mind. stiletto_mom on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111704 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:13:07 +0000 stiletto_mom 2111704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, so I can plan appropriately. snowjewelz on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111691 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:06:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2111691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way! Then I'd have it hanging over me the whole time. Yes, it would help be live life fully now, be able to say goodbye, etc, but I still wouldn't want to know!

It would put so much pressure on you. I'd feel the constant weight of that day on me. Plus, what if that day was only a week from now. How would that feel? Yikes. mrscobee on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111565 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:02:56 +0000 mrscobee 2111565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. Too depressing. littlejoy on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111556 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:59:38 +0000 littlejoy 2111556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I don't think I could be happy with knowing ... It's either too soon, or it's so far away that I'd dwell on "getting everything done". I have quite a fear of death (myself and my loved ones), so it's something I try not to think about.

I'd probably regret finding out, but I don't think I'd be able to resist.

It's like the move "Big Fish." If you know when/how you're going to die, then you know that anything else is survivable.

I would hate to have a countdown of sorts, knowing 'I only have x number of Christmases left' or 'this will be my last ___'. No way, no how. If I knew I was going to live to 100, that would be reassuring, but the flip side would be too awful of a burden to bear so I would never risk it, supposing there was a way to find out of course. yellowbird on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111498 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:38:09 +0000 yellowbird 2111498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way.

I think for my personality, it would give me a certain freedom to know, whether it's in 2 years, 10 years, or 30 years. I would love to be able to "prepare" and live totally freely before.

I wish I could find out if I would live past 80. But I wouldn't want to know the exact date. MaryM on "If you could find out the day you will die, would you want to know?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-find-out-the-day-you-will-die-would-you-want-to-know#post-2111487 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:34:04 +0000 MaryM 2111487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I thought about this a lot when my father had cancer. He asked the doctor not to tell him a prognosis. Part of it was because of his faith. He believed that only God could really know when his day would come. But part of it was also so that he could appreciate the time he had left without "counting down" to impending death. He still did things that a dying person would do (made things right that were on his conscious and embraced holidays and events, etc.), but I think it was easier for him to deal with it not knowing when the end would be. And he ended up going from being fine and traveling one day, to quickly declining and dying just over 24 hours later. So in his case, I think it was a blessing to not know that was coming and expect it to happen so soon.

I think it would be way too stressful. If it's going to be painful or horrible I'd rather not live in fear waiting for it to happen.

I think I would feel like my remaining time is a ticking clock and I would just be freaking out all the time. Though it'd be nice to know if it's something preventable....and I could stop it.
