For me, it's disappearing. That someday something will happen to me and no one will ever know what it was and where I am. That I will become one of those mysteries you see online and on TV shows. Whenever I think about it I feel nothing but dread.

This or some kind of psychosis... Mental health, neurocognitive abnormalities scare the shit out of me. That its very possible it can happen to me.

I once met a guy who was stuck in a drug enduced psychosis when I was 12 or something. It shook me pretty badly. I'm not opposed to drugs at all, but I've always had an irrational fear of halucigenic drugs since.

Lots of people make almost full recoveries from psychosis. Not so much from dementia.
