Does anyone worry about the future?

Hey there,

This is very common. Listen, you have anxiety and you know that. Your anxiety cant kill you, it cant hurt you, it can only get in the way. If you really want to live in the moment, then do it, face your anxiety head on for the sake of your relationship with your family. A lot of people get consumed by worry about anxiety and it ends up taking away from the rest of your life.

I feel the same way, but I've been trying to get through it. You are not alone.

If you need anything all, post on here or feel free to send me a PM.

Good luck and all the best!

You have just figured out what the core of your anxiety is. You not only worry about the future you want to control it. You have to accept life as is and truth is you do not. You want to control the outcomes and probably get anxious if it doesnt go according to your desired outcome. Saying that i completly understand where your from. I feel so similiar at times. I know in my heart its wrong of me, maybe selfish because everyones lives need to progress and mature, especially the kids lives. I want to be surrounded by the people i love and live me forever. Being alone is scary even now and when kids grow up they dont always end up as close as you want. I totally get this but its unhealthy. A reaolution might be when your older to move to an older community set up so you are surrounded ny people in your situation. Maybe picking up an old hobby or finding a new ine. Not to sound trivial but even adopting a dog or cat. Pets provide so much love. Its not the same but thi gs cant stay the same. Its not how life works. People with anxiety are vulnerable and need lots of love and need to know they are looked after if feel ill. Thats just seems to be how it is. Change rocks the boat. Familiarity is comforting and a although a false sense of security it is security.

Yep, I am 56 female with a 17 year old and my life has become one big health worry, I have lots of little niggly health problems which sometimes take over and I start to panic. I hate the thought of getting old am convinced I am going to die young and desperately just want another 10 years to see son through uni and settled a bit. Whilst typing this my chest is aching, I know it is GERD and Costocondritis, but still convinced it is something sinister  I was not like this before I became a parent as I had no one apart from hubbie who relied on me. I panic that he will attacked, that someone will try to hurt him and I think I panic him as well as he is becoming a bit health anxious at times so I am not helping being this way.  I know it is all daft and I could be here in another 30 years but our minds can take over and make us feel really miserable, some days I am super positive others a nervous wreck.
