The health of my family and friends
The possibility of getting into an accident (people drive crazy here)
Will I ever be successful?

^ Sounds like you do a lot of worrying. *hugs*

You should defos go for driving, even if the other drivers do drive crazily. The chances of you being involved in an accident are slim. When I was driving there was a lot of lane switchers and people just drove out on to roundabouts whenever they liked, never gave way. So long as you're sensible and always prepared for anything, drivers, animals, weather etc, you will make a great driver. I wish I could still drive, but I lost my license. And the motion was a problem as well.

Good luck IstominFan. You can do it!

I'm worried about having children but at the same time I'm worried about not having children

I'm worried I might become poor and broke one day and not get any financial support and then become homeless

I'm worried my home will burn down and all my precious possessions will be lost

And many more.

I’m glad you don’t drink, Joe.

I’m worried about being in debt.

The other things come and go.

Death, disease, disability. That's an odd order, death should be last? Except in priority of worry, of course it would be first. I've been to doctor and dentist and pharmacy, so things should get better. Also those YouTube 'binaural beats' work well.

How to Stop Worrying About Things You Can't Change

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I'm too busy being depressed to worry about anything at the moment. It's been a long time since I've been depressed for this long, I suppose I am worried that I'm not going to come out of it this time.

I could be pregnant so that's worrying me a bit. I've been sick every morning the last couple of days. But the good news is I wasn't fired today, it was just an ordinary meeting in which I had to stand up and talk about work stuff.

Embarrassing situations and running out of ice cream

Faith,

Thank you for the kind words! I will never stop driving, because I love going out to my various activities. I did something dumb last year and lost my license for three months. Luckily, I got it back and hope to never have any more problems.

Good news about your job. I worry what might happen if I didn't have my job. I only work part time, but I would like to have a full time job one day. At 54, that goal may be harder to reach. There was so much I wanted to do with my life, but I started too late. Improvements will be measured from here on in small steps, not quantum leaps. I may not achieve everyday, normal adult milestones until my 60s, if ever. I don't want to die without ever experienced what love is like. That would be heartbreaking.

Do you mean you haven't planned to get pregnant, or that you have but you're now worried because it actually might be happening?

I'm worried about my Beloved. She suffered a chronic chemical overexposure at work (she believes intentionally, with malice aforethought). This summer her pulmonary function measured sub-average; unexpected for someone who's physically fit & active and who's never smoked. Her most recent exam showed a measurable decrease in pulmonary function since then. Her pulmonologist expressed "grave concern". She has a chronic cough, shortness of breath, is on an inhaler, and feels ill most of the time now. She has apparently developed a hypersensitivity to chemicals; car exhaust, common cleaners, tobacco smoke, air fresheners, scented laundry detergents, people wearing too much perfume can now trigger a chemically-induced asthma attack and/or migraine-like headache.

Worrying is utterly pointless, unhelpful, and in large doses can be toxic. I try not to, but I can't help being very worried about her. I love her very, very much.

i'm worried about my sister's right knee.

I got a call from my claim manager at the insurance company. He left a message yesterday so I spent the night with absurdly high anxiety. Talked to him today and he was calling about an update on what's been happening. I hate having to justify my illness and then I wonder if it is bad and I'm just a lazy bastard.

What I'm worried about most is my girlfriend's health(mental & physical) that's due to disabilities & made a lot worse by stress. Living in a better environment for her would help a lot which we're trying to do but are on waiting lists for places. What also worries me is money. We have a lot of debt that keeps getting worse. I want to get a part time job were I can make a little money but still keep my benefits. It doesn't really make sense to look for a job till after we move thou.
