I usually have a hard time thinking 6 months ahead because I keep thinking I'll be dead within 6months - 5 years. Not sure if it's me subconsciously trying to avoid planning and being responsible but sometimes I seriously think I should draft a will in case something happens.. or that I might get a life-threatening illness soon since I suffer from gastrointestinal issues but it's not serious enough right now to do anything about it. I also get sick quite often and take longer to recover than I used to. Sometimes I think I'm crazy for feeling this way but I have a hard time seeing myself alive at 50. :/

And yet you've decided that you want to get pregnant on your own and raise a child as a single parent.
Missy, you need to get on the same page with yourself.

Most people should have wills,including living wills and POA, even when they are young and healthy. People with children should also have guardians named.
You should also have a binder with instructions and a list of your accounts such as banks, investments, utilities, etc, so that whoever cleans up after you will know who to contact—you don’t need to include sensitive info such as passwords or anything, just names so the person knows who to contact.
No. I mean, anything is possible, but I have no reason to feel like I’ll be dead in the near future. My elderly, sickly, bedridden grandmother hasn’t even dropped dead yet, so why should I?

Take it from someone who has cancer. . . take care of the minor stuff now before it takes the rest of your body out of balance. Then you can live to care for that child you want. Also, gut issues can actually cause depression--lots of new research showing that there is a direct line from your gut to your brain and that as a fetus, both guts and brain sprang from the same "pseudo-organ." OK, so I sort of made that term up since I'm not sure what the right one is. Take care of yourself!
I thought I would die at 62 like my mother, but I am now 65 and still here however lately I have strong feelings that I don't have much time left. I have several severe health conditions including cardiac and Diabetes mostly uncontrolled. and those two things are what my mother died from. Her death was sudden when it happened.
You may notice that under my screen name it say ,"Waiting for God" and that is how I feel and what I am doing. So the answer to the OP's question is Yes.
