I’ve finished work now for the Easter weekend and the whole of next week, which is nice. Unfortunately, I’m also feeling pretty anxious about some stuff going on in my family. I wish I was better at dealing with anxiety. My wife worries about things too, as does everyone – especially their children’s wellbeing – but is able to avoid the worry consuming her. It’s something I envy.
I tend to be ok through the daytime, but early mornings seem to be worst, where I’ll wake with panicked thoughts that prevent me from getting back to sleep.
It’s perfectly possible that I’m being over-anxious and that I will look back and wonder what I was fussing about, but my brain has a tendency to catastrophise and I really need to find some way of dealing with this.
Sorry for the slightly gloomy post!

Years ago, a psychiatrist at the hospital where I worked told me that only 10% of our expectations and thoughts actually happen in the future. Our brain is very good and efficient at processing information in real time, but it’s a terrible fortune teller.

Thanks Jose. I’m hopeful that my fears are unfounded, but wish I could find a way to deny them from making me me so worried.
