Ok, I give in.

I have Non-Specific Worry Syndrome.

However hard I poke at any one of the many little worries, it isn't a big deal (not even Mum, since the prognosis is so good). But the combination of them all - well, that's scary.

I can deal with one active thing, and one waiting, at the moment. The active thing is going home & to Kent for a friend's wedding this weekend (though I don't know what to wear yet). The waiting thing is the OU assignment due in on 3 June.

Except there's also the cancer Thing, the anniversary of crappiness Thing, the Cambridge next weekend Thing, the going back to work Thing, the total lack of money Thing... A couple of months ago, I was pootling along nicely from one Thing to the next - and now it's all become overwhelming. I know I don't have to worry about them all at once (and some of them shouldn't be worrying at all), but knowing they're there and Looming at me is sending me towards panic ctations.

Wibble.

Non-Specific Worry Syndrome... I have to remember that description ;-) It certainly beats 'mind-numbing nebulous terror which can only be pinned down in a few specific cases to things that really ought not to be engendering quite this much panic' which I've been trying to shorten.

Sorry to hear about your mother but hopefully it'll all go well. Depressingly increasing occurence...
