Christina Applegate is revealing more about her five-year battle with multiple sclerosis and how it affects her daily life — so much so that she's already made plans for her passing.

In a new interview with NPR, the 54-year-old actress confessed she thinks about death "every day," explaining, "for people who have a disease like this, you never know, you know? I mean, I'm — I bought my plots already, OK? I bought them."

Applegate, who just released her memoir *You With the Sad Eyes*, wouldn't reveal where her final resting place will be, but she did say it's "really pretty" and a place she has had her eye on for a while.

"And I finally was like, 'Is this available?' They're like, 'Yes, it is.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, buying it now'… That way, nobody has to deal with it."

She's also thoughtfully preparing the site for her eventual visitors. "I have to pick my tree out 'cause they're going to plant a tree there 'cause it's really sunny," Applegate told NPR's Rachel Martin. "And I want my visitors to not, you know, be sweating."

But in all seriousness, there's one visitor in particular she's concerned about: Sadie, her 15-year-old daughter with husband Martyn LeNoble.

"I'm very not comfortable because I'm going to hurt my kid," she acknowledged. "My kid's going to be hurt."

Applegate continued, "So I get really scared about that. I think it's — now I'm, like, really afraid of it because of her. I can't — I don't know," she said, as she began to cry. "I can't even talk about, like, I don't know what her life's going to be like, and you don't know when it's going to be — could be, like, anytime."

Last May, the actress detailed daily life with MS while appearing on the podcast, *Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend**.*

"I don't really leave the house anymore," Applegate revealed. "I mean, if people saw what my life was like on the daily, they wouldn't be able to do it because I can sometimes not do it. It's really, really hard."
