puddingcatI 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
Date: 2005-05-27 06:12 pm (UTC)I have a friend who says "there is no such thing as a problem, only unpalateable facts" this is true.
Remember that todays problems are all gone by tomorrow (when they are replaced by the next set)
Punch a teddy bear or two.
Sometimes if it all gets too much its better to say "stuff it" and not deal with any of it until tomorrow.
Finally we all love you and things will get better. In fact some of those worries will be over by the time you read this.
