اسوأ ما يتعلق بالموت هو أنّنا نفقد السيطرة على هويتنا وإرثنا الروحي والفكري. إذ سيظهر أشخاص يدّعون—حقًا أو زورًا—الوصاية على إرثك وهؤلاء هم من سيصنعون صورتَك بعد موتك كما يريدون وكما يتصوّرونك.

لهذا من العملي أكثر أنْ تعيشَ لأجل قضيتك بدلًا من أنْ تستشهد في سبيلها.
San Andrea al Quirinale,
By Bernini
Is there a word for the feeling of impending doom (u feel that u will die soon)?

Doesn't matter whether it's Arabic or English (or even German)
تَوَجُّس: تَوَجّسَ الشيء؛ أضمَرَ مِنه خَوفًا

Ominous: being an omen, foreshadowing evil 

Foreboding: a prediction, or presentiment especially of coming evil
((فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُّوسَى))

[طه 67]
The brain and PMS

So GABA is a molecule that we find in the brain... It's the main inhibitory thing there, this simply means that it "shuts down" or "calms down" your brain signals.

Here's a weird thing:
Progesterone (a female sex hormone) can bind to GABA receptors and activates them, therefore "calming down" the brain during certain times of the reproductive cycle.
Women with PMS possibly have a problem in their GABA receptors that reduces progesterone's ability to bind to the receptors, therefore the brain doesn't calm down... Therefore PMS

The lovers,
By René Magritte
The oyster, when the moon is full, opens itself wide, and when the crab looks in he throws in a stone or seaweed and the oyster cannot close again, whereby it serves for food to that crab. This is what happens to him who opens his mouth to tell his secret. He becomes the prey of the treacherous hearer.

- Leonardo da Vinci
