I find myself always worrying about the future and not the present. I am always trying to figure out what i’m going to do with my life and never live in the moment. I don’t know how to get out of this mindset. I want to try new things but get frustrated and mentally down about things.

Well, none of us are fortune tellers. So we don’t know what the future will bring.

Being in the ‘here and now’ is work. But it’s doable.

Take a warm bath.

Same here. Especially before sleep. I fear for everything! I worry like crazy that it took a long time to fall asleep. I am afraid. I am scared what happen to my life. Where will I go? Will I die soon?

thank you so much mydogs. It means a lot having supportive people around.

I think a great step in getting out of that mindset is being on here. As I message you this, it is 2:10 AM and I can’t sleep but reading this helped me feel not so alone. I’ve only been on here a couple of days but it is helping. If you are awake in the middle of the night, post a message. I am here to listen 😊

Hello- I have a sister who worries a lot about her health and her future. It affects her health because she could not sleep well and had no appetite. She lost a lot of weight because of her anxiety.

I talk to her most of the time and give her encouragement. I spend time talking to her to let her know that she’s not alone in her journey. It helps her and I can see that she is slowly getting better. Every time she worries, she messages me and we pray together. If you have a friend or family that you can trust, reach out to that person. You can also post here anytime, we are here for you.

I pray that you will stay strong and will experience peace each day. Please keep us posted.

Some concern with your future is necessary otherwise you will get there unprepared. I suppose balance is the answer. Have a plan and then don't worry it to death. The past is useful also, you don't want to repeat mistakes, but spending time in the past keeps you from advancing. Focusing on the now is hard to do , you can train your mind. We all have to manage this to different degrees. It doesn't hurt to ask how people do it or what their plans are. You can get ideas by talking to people and reading about what others have done. You do sound focused about what you need to do. A smartdog.. Pam
