Are You an Excessive Worrier?

That was a very nice thing to say...thank you!

cj and bk...thank you! I am sorry you are going through this too but glad I am not alone.

Maybe we should gang up on folks that make us worry. Put the shoe on the other foot! :occasion:

I don't know if you are a religious person or not but mom has a saying that I think could help you--in fact she has 2 sayings.

1. The Lord only gives us burdens he knows we can handle

2. Stop worrying and place it in God's hands. He is going to be up all night anyway.

I have heard them all but.....the one about God being up all night that is way too cute!!!

Worried myself right into emerg last night, thought for sure I was having a heart attack....UUUUGGGGHHHH...and now a terrible migraine with vomiting. NOT FUN

Don't forget to do your deep breathing OK

I have a book of meditations called "Night Light". I read it in the evening when I have insomnia.
I also fast and meditate and find that this helps to release anxiety even when the meditation has nothing to do with anxiety or with the subject that I am anxious about.
