I wonder all the time, why worry..?







Do you have any tips for dealing with the worries? 


  1. I can identify with you on the worry front. I worry about all sorts of things and it drives me mad but likewise, it is v low level and I wouldn't categorize it as anything to be seeking advice over. Nonetheless, it IS frustrating to stress about things I can't change. I get that.(and just for the record, the anxiety I've felt, particularly over the last year over whether to have children or not is ridiculous. And yet, I can't articulate it to anyone out loud, let alone to the chief protagonists in that matter. Then I worry more about not being able to articulate it and so the circle goes...).
    The act of keeping a diary is a good idea. I'm not sure I really have any solutions to offer you....

  2. I do this too. There is a really flippant saying about 'worrying is suffering twice', but if you worry you worry, saying 'don't worry' doesn't help in the slightest.
    I don't have any solutions, like you, I find writing it down and keeping lists really helps. Talking it over with people also helps, sometimes I find myself getting repetitive but it's better than keeping it all in and at some point a solution usually appears, or it beings to feel less of a 'thing' to worry about.
