Are you a constant worrier I'll admit that I'm a constant worrier. I don't know why, but I worry all the time about everything. I've worried so much about something, it's gotten to the poin where I had a bleeding ucler at the age of 15. My momz said it's because I'm insecure with myself. Anyhew, is there something you can do to stop the worrying so much? And is there a such thing of having a Chronic worry illness???
this have nothing to do with the thread but when I was little whenever I tried to say worrier, I always said warrior | |

I never worry about anything very long... it is a waste of time.
Worrying about something will not stop it from happening, so just go with it. Look into "generalized anxiety disorder" if you really do worry non-stop. Diagnostic Criteria Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation), occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities (such as work or school performance). The person finds it difficult to control the worry. The anxiety and worry are associated with three (or more) of the following six symptoms (with at least some symptoms present for more days than not for the past 6 months). Note: Only one item is required in children. restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge being easily fatigued difficulty concentrating or mind going blank irritability muscle tension sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless unsatisfying sleep) The focus of the anxiety and worry is not confined to features of an Axis I disorder, e.g., the anxiety or worry is not about having a Panic Attack (as in Panic Disorder), being embarrassed in public (as in Social Phobia), being contaminated (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), being away from home or close relatives (as in Separation Anxiety Disorder), gaining weight (as in Anorexia Nervosa), having multiple physical complaints (as in Somatization Disorder), or having a serious illness (as in Hypochondriasis), and the anxiety and worry do not occur exclusively during Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The anxiety, worry, or physical symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., hyperthyroidism) and does not occur exclusively during a Mood Disorder, a Psychotic Disorder, or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

I totally sympathise with U. I myself am also a constant worrier. Its not a pleasant characteristic 2 have and the irritating thing is, I know I worry 2 much. However I feel Ive learned 2 relax more lately.
I used 2 worry all the time when I was at University over the smallest of things and would always be on the phone back home 2 my folks. Mainly about relationships, money, cooking..basically I worried about anything and everything. I dont know if there's a cure 4 it, but I always try 2 think, just step back 4 a moment and assess the situation, and it never appears 2 be as bad as it seemed. | |

I did use have troubles going to sleep when I was younger, cuz I worried so much. I use to worry about things like war,what if I end up homeless one day or family members dying... It's true you can't stop it from happening, but I would still do it forwhatever [This message was edited Tue Jul 15 4:24:15 PDT 2003 by DigitalLisa] | |

I used to worry sooo much, before I burned out. Then I went to cognitive therapy and learned not to, and my life is si much better for it. It used to be that I worried about every little thing imaginable, but now I let it be if there's nothing I can do about it. | |

i go with ice nine on this if it is gonna happen anyways why worry bout it. it is a waste of time to give that level of energy to something so pointless. if you invested all that energy in developing your self instead, then maybe you would be in more control of your enviroment giving you even less reasons to worry insecurity is a mf'er ..

Worrying casts a big shadow from a small problem | |

I believe there are personal reasons for worry, which vary from person to person. I think the cause of the worry is probably something much deeper than the surface concern.
Long term psychotherapy is the best way of dealing with the problems imo. | |

I worry, frett and think all the time, sometimes I have such a hard time turning my brain off... to relax I burn lavendar candles, take warm baths and hot showers and meditate and pray. I can usually settle down after that...

to worry is to struggle and struggle is unnecessary. if we confront our personal limitations and the limitations imposed on us then we strengthen our spiritual muscles and learn to accept. life is just what it is, and worrying takes the joy out of being in the moment. zesty!!! | |
