There’s something about me that you may not know. I’m a worrier. I worry about everything. I worry that I am not a good enough mother, worry that I am not a good enough daughter, girlfriend, person. I worry about the repercussions of things that happened years before when I was younger and foolish. I worry that I am a terrible library chick, that I am not as smart as I think I am and that people will find out and then not like me.
I worry.
So yesterday I had an event at work and of course, I worried. I worried that no one would show, I worried that the people who were putting on the show would think they had wasted their time and in turn be upset with me. I worried because the friend who had them perform at her library had such a good time with the group and was such a success that I had to better.
My fears were sorta left unmet but I had gotten myself in such a fir that I fell into the depression that only I can have: one where I isolated myself, overate and indulged in the saddest pity party ever. Today I feel better of course but I honestly feel that my worries are not something that I want to keep.
And time.
Dang. I was worried that time would come before I was done.

I am a worry-bug too, or shall I say RECOVERING worry bug. It helps me feel less lonely to know other people are out there worrying enough FOR me so I don’t need to worry at all… until the next time, naturally…
I feel the same. I am a huge worrier, constant, constant worry. I take after my mom. It’s frustrating, I am trying to stop worrying as much but it is hard!!
I feel this is so the norm for women in general. We have so much on our plates, so many roles to play in our daily lives….we can’t help but worry. You, my dear, are NOT alone.
Thank you!
I know I am not alone, I know that I am not theonly perosn who worries, worries, worries but really, when I get in my head…watch out!
When I am having a moment I will remember your kind words.

I tell myself and I tell myself that I am going to let it go, deep breathe and boom! It starts all over again!
Thank you for your kind words; I will really try to keep these in mind when I am about to worry myself again.

Hi Melisaa,
Isn’t it a trip!
I hate that feeling of being out of control!
I am going to make myself take a deep breath and relax when I feel myself worry. It may not always help but it will be a start.
