Yes! Sign me up for the WA club! I can worry anything and everything to death. I am really working on trying to control this. Any hints?

But a quick story... My DS15 is trying out for baseball at his high school, now baseball is VERY important to him and I SO want him to make the team. So anyway, they have been having tryouts for the past week or so, and I am such a wreck worrying if he's going to make the team. So, yesterday, for some reason I was exceptional stressed about it, the waiting and wondering. I had to go pick him up from the practice because DH couldn't. So I'm waiting in the parking lot for him, feeling more and more anxious... he comes to the car, gets in... I ask him how practice went, but as he starts to tell me, I BURST INTO TEARS!! It was like all this pent up anxiety came bursting out!

So anyway.... PLEASE SIGN ME UP!!! Hello, My name is Mercy and I am an excessive worrier!!

SO - did he make the team? Now, you have ME worried about him I am exactly like this so I can really relate.

Note the posting time of this and you'll see that I'm a worrywort too. I wake up and my mind starts racing. Right now, it's about our trip.

Did I plan my itinerary well enough???

Did I remember to tell my mother about...???

Do I have my work files together properly???

Will my dog miss me????

Should I have spent the extra $$$ to upgrade my room???

It's pathetic. I wish I could turn my brain off at night.

I'd worry about that little cutie, too!

Planning my trip is my escape from all the stress and worry, although it will become the source of worry a week or two beforehand!

I could be a card carrying member of WA, too. If there is a "worry gene" floating around in my family, I have it! My dad is a big time worrier, as well.

I worry even when there's nothing to worry about.

My dh is so laid back. He doesn't worry about anything. How he pulls this off, I have no idea.

 

[JPN4265]

Use to be, not so much any more.

 

[agotta]

Absolutley! I can't help it

 

[Skatermom23]

Add me to the list! Glad I am not alone.....

I think I worry a normal amount. I don't think I over-worry, especially about day-to-day stuff.

If I worry about anything, it's about my parents and their getting older and what's going to happen. Right now they are very good and active and independent for their age (late 70's), but I worry about the day that changes.

 

[NandP]

Yes !!!

I am not a worrier. Even to the point where my friends and family will say "how can you not worry about that?" Then I start to worry.

Hannah has a cold and I debated sending her to school on Monday, but I did end up sending her (and she did just fine). I left a message with day care to let them know not to give her any medicine, since I had given her some in the morning, but I didn't get to talk to her provider. My friend was horrified that I didn't call back to see how Hannah was doing. I figured if it wasn't well, I would get a phone call. So I ended up calling, and she was fine.

My FIL is a big worrier, especially about his son. He will pick up the kids from day care for me sometimes, and if DH is not home when he gets there, he freaks out thinking something has happened to him. I usually just figure he is working late, but I end up calling him, anyway because FIL is making such a stink.

Oh yes, I am a supreme worrier. I come from a family that has this down to a science. I once took out a book on anxiety at the library. I literally started to worry about getting it returned on time so that they wouldn't have to call me and ask for the anxiety book back. No kidding...

I was looking for something funny, (I like to laugh), on the DIS this morning and I just found it! This cracked me up!

Trust me, I'm not laughing AT you. This sounds exactly like something I would do!

Yes, I'm a worrier. My family keeps telling me I have "anxiety issues". I can't help it. You name it, and I can find a reason to worry about it. My husband is the complete opposite, doesn't worry about anything. Drives me crazy!

Not only do I worry, but I obsess over things. I'm a mess!!

 

[luvflorida]

I am a worrier too.

It's not a headache, it's a brain tumor. DS isn't just late from school, he must have been in an accident. We used to call this straight to dead.

I need to go to WA -- Worriers Anonymous.

Straight to dead! Haha! I like that!

I need to join WA, also.

 

[mickeyfan2]

Not a worrier in general, but would worry if DH was hours overdue.

 

[Snowysmom]

I am a first classs worrier. Lucky for me I have alot to worry about lately! I'll get alot of practice. I love the story about taking out the book on Anxiety.

My husband about drove me nuts last night (no, I didn't kill him for being so late after he got home ). There's a big upheaval at his job where they're buying out another company, so he's undergoing a lot of stress over it. He's been bringing the stress home for the past couple of weeks and last night I asked him about it and he said, "Oh, I just decided not to be stressed anymore."

Decided????

How does that work???
