Do You Ever Just Worry

Post Reply New Topic

Too true. I posted something like this in another thread yesterday, but it's applicable here. I tend to live in "the wreckage of my future." It's an absurd concept when you put it into words, but it sure seems logical when it's just a feeling -- that feeling of dread that everything's going to go wrong. It's super-easy to slip into, and not so super-easy to slip out of. But, it's just what I said: absurd. Right now is all I've (you've) got. Might as well use now as productively and enjoyably as you can. Again, not so easy. I constantly have to remind myself that if it's not happening now, it's none of my business.

It's lovely that you worry about your brothers but you have to trust that they will be okay and stay positive for them. You have to believe that they will be okay (worrying is a negative and drags us all down). Every morning tell yourself that the "boys are going to have a great day today" and that will start their day on a positive note.

I worried myself sick when I got the diagnosis on my son (at the age of 18/19) because he cant get a job and he dropped out of school at 15 (thanks to a bully of a teacher) so he is finding it difficult to get on a course so he is at home. (He is 22 now).

In the last 6 months I have realised that my family wouldnt be without him as he is Mr Fix-It of the emotions and the spirit!! He helped me through a bad patch, he watches over his younger cousins and his auntie and also helps out his friends- he is a wonderful life coach and I know that when the time is right everything will fall into place for him job wise. He is so bright and he constantly reads and learns about all sorts of things.

So now I have stopped worrying and I just celebrate the special care he gives me, his siblings, family and friends.
