Worries

[Nandragon]

When you no longer have something that occupies a valuable part of your time/conciousness, do you "worry" about it constantly?


That, that seems to be all you think of?


And when you are worrying to death over something, can you let it go and think of other things, or enjoy yourself?

A story:

When I was about 25? well a bit before, I got really pissed off with the world, with my job, being used. So I quit and went on the dole :D Heh heh, fear the anarchy :D

Anyway, leading up to the day I quit and a few weeks after I was so stressed out, heart beating like fuck, couldn't sleep at night, fear of the unknown, what was gonna happen to me. Then one day, I just thought to myself "Fuck it. I'm not gonna die, things could be worse." and all the anxiety went away and I lived happily ever after.

The End. :)

I have literally seen my father worry himself sick. My mother went on a trip, and when she didn't call when she was supposed to he started worrying....to the point where he didn't want to be left alone (I was supposed to go out with some friends that night). He hates worrying, doesn't know why he does it, but he can't stop.

I'm glad I didn't inherit that from my father. I'm about as non-stressed/laid back as they come:)

I find that the things I should worry about, I let slide. Like finances. And I obcess over stuff like....sex.:p

I'm an obsessive worrier ... if something "might" happen, I'll get at it like a dog with a bone, extrapolating the silliest worst case scenario.

I hate it. :(

I wouldn't necessarily say I worry about things, more like I'm an obsessive planner. I tend to spend ridiculous amounts of time analyzing potential actions before I do them.

Not that I analyse everything, but certainly things I haven't done before.

..exact same here..

i'm also an uber-perfectionist..
i've actually gone back and edited posts to replace the :D smilie with the :p smilie, because it didn't feel right..

if i don't have anything to do, i'll start worrying about things that haven't happened, and probably won't happen for a long time, like marriage and kids..

I'm the same..if something is technically within the realm of possibilty, no matter how remote or ridiculous, I can worry about it so much that I'll convince myself that it must be happening.

i've got most of it in hand now except for this whole death thing.

[Cassa]

Subject of many panic attacks that one is.

i'm with woody allen on this one. it's not so much that i really mind dying, i just don't want to be there when it happens.

I'm with you on that.

I try not to worry about stuff, but if it's something that's really important it's hard to be happy until the issue is resolved.

A couple of years ago i was a regular at my local pub (good old epping hotel) every wednesday night. Every time i went their i would see and have a chat with this chick i knew in primary school (and kinda had a thing for in those primary school days). Anyways for about a month or two i would go their every wednesday night at round 8 and stay till 12-1 and she would show up round 9-10 and we'd just chat (nothing came of it, it was just a peaceful chat dealio, i'd be there with friends, she'd be there with friends).
Anyways here's the worry part (could be considered pathetic). The night before going to the pub on some week i had a vivid dream/nightmare of this girl running through what looked like a shell of a burnt out house, and i kinda got the impression of some sort of danger or some such shit. Anyways since that dream i have not seen her since, and its always kinda creeped/weirded me out.
Although there could be a whole lot of reasons for her not coming their anymore, it has always creeped me out somewhat.

I used to be a worrybag.........worry about everything and anything. Now, in my wiser age of 24 years 11 months, ive started to realise that alot of shit isnt important, so my worrying is only really limited to family and work.

And id rather not lose them, keeps you vigilant.

[Scythe]

Yes. I suspect I lack that mental filter that stops people worring about things that don't immediately affect them. :confused:

It really sucks. :mad:

It took a girl I used to love, my dad who was very sick at the time, and severe depression to get me to where I am today...

As Yoda would say....."Control, you must learn Control" :banana:

[Nandragon]

I tell myself that whatever it is that's bothering me, won't kill me. And everything almost ALWAYS works out for the better.

The phrases below help too...

"Fear is the mind killer..."
"What goes around comes around"
"Oh, Fucking well"
"When one door closes, another opens"

Finally, my friend got pissed at me last night because I showed her picture online. NO she wasn't naked. Normally I would worry myself to death that I had made my friend mad. But you know what, my life isn't going to STOP just becuase she's pished. NO, on the contrary....I will still get up in the morning and go into the nazi office. I will still go to MY home and go to sleep. She'll get over it, or not. WTF is up with getting pissed about a picture?

[reaperman]

Maybe she thinks you have her soul now (native american thing, i think).

Yes, i am a wanker :banana:
