Worries & Concerns

Another Friday Venting Thread 😉 (alt title)

What are you worried about?
Everything, again! Someone should have told me, firmly, and over and over, that parenting never gets easier. I am so tired of worrying about my adult kids and the continual drama they are going through! I want to help so much, but I know, especially because I am in another program, that I cannot control or fix anything for them. But, it sets my cPTSD off big time...I'm finally taking antidepressants after years of avoiding them....is this what it has come to?? Ugh! I love my kids so much, but I just feel so helpless and it sets off my anxiety and depression..
 
I worry about what will happen when my mom dies. I'll be without my only emotional support human, homeless and without income or family or friends IRL. Boooo.
This one hit me, I feel for you. I just found out my mom, 85, my best friend, has to have heart surgery. I worry about the same thing, no one to really be there for me, no one to help me survive financially like she does...I know I will figure it out and things will work out, but sometime the worrying gets to me. Booo is right!
 
I worry I'll be broke in a week. And not the cute broke-ish where you just have to be a little careful, but the I-have-nothing-in-my-wallet(not even coins, nothing in bank) and nothing in my fridge and a stack of bills kind. The what if I can't pay rent kind.
And because of the twisted way mental health issues work, this is making my work speed and ability to brainstorm new incomes worse, not better.
 
How did I only just find this thread @Friday ?

It’s coming up to midnight on a Sunday so I am currently worried about .

1. Having totally failed to prepared to prepared in any way for the week ahead

2. Money, money, money

3. Having to take a tyre in to the shop tomorrow . ( I get seriously nervous at that sort of place - not ptsd stuff. Just nervous and weird)

4. DH’s health and operation next month

5 . Something I’m not currently sure is normal precautionary sense or PTSD hyper vigilance- not knowing makes me feel really uneasy .

6. My dogs ( rescue is in season and behaving like a feral werewolf)

7. My cats ( one jumped out of a second storey window three days ago)

8. The weather ( my village had flooding today and it’s way too early in the season for flooding - does this mean we risk water ingress for the first time ever?

9 . Grass, hay, mud and ultimately- money .

10. My health - I’m still hardly able to lift my phone after covid, and was as sick as a dog today.

11. My friends getting fed up if number 5 is not normal action but rather hyper vigilance

12. Teenage boys who aren’t mine but spend a lot of time at our place - It’s a responsibility.

13. My plants that I am too weak to lift in for winter :(

14. It’s going to rain all week and on halloween - should I or should I not put hair chalk in the ponies’ mane for going dressed up as a witch to give candy to the kids on the village green?

15. Money. I want a sink unit for the kitchen so that my sink isn’t resting on a saw horse anymore.

16 . Ad training staying away for a week in December

17 and two weeks in January. Will I cope? Suppose I get too tired or unwell?

18. DH .

19. Why is the wood stove rusting?

20. Decluttering .

That’s not it - but what is at the top of my mind atm

Use number 12 to solve number 13.
 
I’m worried about going into work tomorrow and having to see the person who retraumatized me. On an up note, I have my cover letter, resume, and references updated to apply for new job, however I think laptop crashed for good so unable to send the pages out.
