I've been having a kind of battle in my mind the last few months. I've been trying to be happy with what I've got in life, a girlfriend whom I've been with for 2 years, A quiet 9-5 office job, a nice home. But it seems as if for every good thought I have a bad one is right there with it. For example, my girlfriend: We've been together 2 years and not once has she showed any signs of betrayal or cheating but for some reason I always have the thought in the back of my mind that shes going to find someone better and leave. I worry that my job wont be enough for me to live in the coming years as things get more and more expensive. It makes me less energetic and antisocial. I want to be crawled into bed constantly because that's where I feel safe, but I'm afraid of being alone because my thought wonder and haunt me. Is there something wrong with me? How do I seek help?

Hello Newhere101,

welcome. I hope this forum helps you in some way.

I am not a doctor or counsellor, so if your situation is affecting you, you should see a doctor and talk to him about what you are feeling.

What I can tell you is about my own experience...

I have a relatively safe job but I also worry with the future, inflation is always higher than my salary raise, so I have a savings account where I try to put a little bit aside every month for a possible "rainy day".

About love, I wish I had a magic crystal ball. No one knows what the future brings so cherish each day as a special day.

There is no need to be “preoccupied” because “pre” means before, therefore pre-occupied means worry before the facts happen. That will cause you anxiety. Like people say: “take your time to smell the roses”

Hope this help. Share your thoughts.
