Q: constant worry

Hello

I have no obvious reason but I worry a lot, all the time, about anything, and I live in constant fear that things may go bad, which they never do, but I still don't stop worrying.

I do yoga postures and meditations for 15 years and they help without causing a profound change in my nature which is the worrying kind!
I also eat healthy and I exercise, I am in good physical health which helps but not much with the emotional problems.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

welcome to e-health i hope you find the answers your looking for.

do you know when this started happening?, when you say you worry a lot ? can you be more specific on what type of things you worry about?

just know what your going through many people feel the same. i guess the best suggestion i can give you at the moment is too express your thoughts to a friend or your doctor if you haven't done so already.

Hello
Hello,
Well I have a few questions to ask you before I start talking about what I think. First, what do you think makes you worry the most? Like..is there something or like a topic that whenever you hear about it or see it that it makes you panic? Because you have to start like tracking down and pinpointing the things that make you anxious and worried..because it definitely won't go away like magic. I worry too all the time..about everything so I really do know the feeling. It's not easy for sure but you just have to try to you know do things to keep your mind busy and try to pinpoint things in your life that make you the most anxious and worried. Another question..do you go to talk to someone..like a therapist because I think that would be beneficial for you. I mean everyone worries in the world it's just the amount of worries people have are different..different levels. You also have to try to stop your mind from over worrying because too much worry really affects your body badly. It's really hard but if you need medication to do so..even for a little while then that's fine. I mean I know some people are for or against medications like that so..it depends on the individual. Let me know if you need anything else and let me know how you make out with everything! I love helping.

Take care,
Keep in touch!

Why worry??
There are only two things in life to worry about, whether your healthy or whether your sick.
If your healthy, theres nothing to worry about, but if your ill there are two things to worry about, whether your going to live or whether your going to die,
If your going to live theres not much to worry about but if you die there are only two things to worry about.
Whether your going to live or whether your going to die.
If your going to live theres nothing to worry about but if you die there are two things to worry about,,,
Whether you go to heaven or to hell......
If you go to heaven, theres nothing to worry about but IF you go to HELL..............
You'll be so busy shaking hands with old friends you wont have time to worry............................SO WHY WORRY????

Constant Worry
Hi. My girlfriend of 10 months will periodically bring to my attention that someday I wont have a job because I work with my father in his business and thinks he's just going to shoosh me out into the street when he retires or whatever. I have no idea where she gets this from. Apparently she had a bad experience with an ex boyfriend who told her he worked with his father and come to find out did nothing. She says that I don't "get a paycheck" so it makes her think that I don't work. When your self employed or are involved in a family runned business it's different but I pay my bills, pay taxes and have spending sprees and have fun and live life like anyone else. Little things will trigger that worry of hers.. i.e.: my brother made a comment last night that because my step grandfather is in the hospital that my father will be at the hospital with my step mom and because he's not around I don't have to work today.. wink wink... It's a joke!! Just like the saying "when the boss is away, the workers or play".. or something like that. Well she didn't get it and took it completely literal and we fought. My father is 61 and will always have a hand in the business even when he offically retires. She seems insecure about the fact that not only that this is my career path but that it is and will a succesful one and will too take into my retirement someday and maybe allow me to bring my son into it someday if he chooses to. Amongst other things the bottom line is that she is a "worry wart". I love her a lot but think that her constant worry may affect our relationship down the road. I just recently moved in with her and generally when shes not worrying about things we are pretty darn happy. Other than a little argument now and then we get along pretty good. What can I do to help her in all of this without totally pointing a finger at her and saying that the reasons why we fight are all your fault? HELP!!! Thanks! Smile
