yeah, I worry about worrying.
I struggle to control it close to every moment of the day.
I worry if I will get all my work done.
Will I forget an assignment
Am I prepared for tests?
What about a pop quiz, did I read enough last night?
Did I take enough notes? no, why not more? ------------------ then I worry about gf. Why is she quite?
Is she mad?
Does she have something to say cuz she hates me?
Why am I so overbearing?
Why do I talk so much? --------------------------------
I struggle all the time to focus on the task at hand. I do what I have to do. If GF is mad, she will say so, I don't need to worry, she likes me.
Who else worrys about worrying? It is enough to drive you off a cliff sometime, especially in high stress siutations like finals, and when you think your lady friend wants to talk to you, but won't cuz she doesn't want to worry you.
ok, yeah, sharing is caring.

Worrying is a bottomless pit. You can worry about one thing for infinity because there is limitless outcomes that your mind can form. You have to learn to get the information, ponder it, and put it to one side until you are confronted with it. You can worry about something forever so save your brains processing time and save yourself stress.
I think meditation would help you.

other peopel think MEDication would help.
do you really suggest meditation though, I need to learn to focus inward, find the shit that bugs me, ponder it, and move on.
I appreciate your advice, please help me figure out what kind of meditation I can try.

btw: I know the bottomless pit thing.
You worry that gf is mad, so then you start thinking she doesn't like you
then you think she doesn't like you cuz you did XYZ, then you get mad at yourself for doing that, and worry what else you'll fuck up, when really it's just that time of the month for her, and or worse, you're just making crap up in your head. :(

Look dude. I can't really say anything more then what I have. I do think meditation will help you understand what I said more and train you to feel it naturally. Something I want to get into more.
Why worry? It won't change anything. Think, register it, put it away until you need it.

i've tried that recently, with decent success. Just take things at face value and use them later if I can.
I guess I'm just a natural worrier, I'm looking into the meditation thing though, I wanna find my inner calm :)

meditation in silence don't worrk forr me. If you put some ambient music on and sit and listen to everry sound and tip and tap of it, that will chill you out. if you think about purrely that. eyes shut silence purrely think of the music nothing else.

my brain is in sleep mode most of the time. 'the only thing to fear is fear itself'. maybe.

I think I know what you are talking about. I worry about the future, but I think rather than doing anything to change it for the better I just worry about it. Boy do I worry about it tee hee

I'm going to go see a therapist and take some meditation classes next term, it's settled
I can't really handle this constant knife to throat that is my endless worrying.

I worry about things all the time, when something happens I think the worst case scenario.
I also think that I know what other people think etc... But you know. A lot of people fit in certain patterns of behaviour.
But blatant, dont worry, if you just do the things you have to do, and just try to have peace with what you cant do.
I think perfectionism might also be a factor causing your worrying.
(it is for me, but I try to set it aside sometimes)

i got past the perfectionism when I started doing shitty in school :)
I didn't really have a choice ----------------------- I'm happy with who I am, I just want to enjoy that more instead of worrying about what I COULD be, what I SHOULD be doing.
Professional help will hopefully get it all out and allow me to focus on doing the things I need to do without worrying about the world caving in should I come up short.

Crikey this subject has got me all thinking and stuff :-) (It's ok it's my favourite past time)
I came up with this ... I worry about not being able to change, to adapt.
On a personal note, I think I know where this stems from. Anyway this is how I live my life and I set my mind at ease by the reasuring thought that I am wrong because I can change and the Proof! I will die, the biggest change you can imagine.
