That's what worry does, Bert. It scrambles your thoughts. What, specifically, do you worry about? Maybe we can help you sort it all out .

the future , parents passing and being left alone my son stays with his girlfriend, even going for a haircut and meeting people in the street I know how it sounds as I write it but all the stupid stuff. As I read this I think I should give myself a good shake

Hello Bert, Maybe if you tried writing your worries down, you wouldn't keep going over them in your head. You could address each on as to how likely they are to happen and ask yourself if you have any control over them. One at a time is easier than a whole bunch of worries lumped together. In my own experience most of the things I've worried about have never happened. I hope its the same for you. Pam

Bert, start by taking the future right off the list. We can try to do what is right for us & prepare for our futures, but we can not control what actually happens. What if we all got our acts together, got ourselves financially secure, go ourselves happy, & a big old meteor hit the earth & incinerated it?? Now promise me you won't worry about meteors incinerating the earth! You get my point. Worry is fear creeping slowly up our spines. Shake it away. Tell it there is no place for it in your life. Stick with us. We'll walk you through it .

I know what you mean when you question if talking about it makes it more or less painful. Let me know if you come to any conclusions about this x
