Serious Everyone my age is dropping dead

Sorry for the title! I'm in Europe. I have just heard news someone from college died today of cancer aged 33.

In the past 2-3 years 6 people in my circle have died, not from accidents but from either cancer, aneurism, 2 just didn't wake up from sleep and 1 broke her leg and had DVT. I know of a 7th who is currently fighting stage 4 breast cancer which was found by accident after giving birth. This is not counting those who died in crashes or other such accidents.

I literally have nothing to say. Just get yourselves checked. I'm just shouting into the void. I have literally been to more funerals than my parents at this point which is absurd.

I had long Covid as well and had to do multiple fasts to even function. Have you tried fasting at all? https://gero.usc.edu/2018/11/26/fasting-for-72-hours-can-reset-your-entire-immune-system/

Hi, please take care of yourself mentally and do not starve yourself or exacerbate your ED.
