I was warned by one relative.....

[Thankfulforhelp22]

that another relative "has some kind of problem or issue". They were told to keep it secret but indicated that they may tell me in a while. I am worried sick. It kept me up last night.

I thought all sorts of worst-case scenarios especially about the person perhaps being really sick or dying. I prayed frequently.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I'm scared, I guess.

Nothing is more stressful than being told something like that but not in complete

detail. Our minds can go wild with anticipation always thinking the worse.

I hope you get to hear the secret soon. Whatever it is you won't be able to support

them until you know. :)xx

Back in May just before I moved I got a text from the doctors surgery saying a blood test I had back in the March needed repeating and I was absolutely terrified thinking the worst!

I did go back and have it repeated though and it turns out it was a problem at the lab not with me personally and thankfully everything was fine with the repeated one with nothing to worry about.

Turnipgirl, so happy for you that the news was good.

This is why we can't waste our energy on worrying.

Worrying takes away the Joy of today. xx

Thing is if there had been a serious problem they would have rung me to come in urgently not wait a few weeks to have got in contact!

This morning I had my covid booster vaccine and I am glad that's over and done with and have treated myself to a nice quiet afternoon at home with lots of cups of tea and a nice bath!

There you go Turnipgirl, Enjoy your day. xx

I hope you find out something soon.

I get the wobbles when I'm told of a possible nasty event too. Only getting told half of what's going on is a bit cruel, I feel.

Cheers, Midori

Many years ago there was gossip going round at a job I was at claiming the place was closing down and I was frightened!

One of the managers took me out for a chat and told me no the offices aren't going to close and things will change but no they were not closing!
