Anyone else an obsessive worrier?

Worrying is probably the only thing I'm good at. Even from a very early age I tended to worry about everything. It's really taken a toll on my life. Now that most of my anxiety is under control (with meds) I realise just how much of an effect being so nervous has on one. I guess I worry a lot when I'm around other people. So does anyone find themselves worrying and obsessing about stuff? (usually negative stuff)

*Sticks hand up* I do! ::p:

I also read into things too much and sometimes come up with my own conclusions lol. But yeah, worrying, argh. ::(: I feel like i'm gonna send myself into another deep depressive episode with all this worrying i do.

Ah, I worry about every little thing, and always make a mountain out of a molehill. I ended up getting grey hairs from stressing myself out over the smallest thing. I think I might have just inherited it though - there's loads of people in my family who are quite melodramatic and worry a lot.

I worry about serious things that could happen, but isn't likely. Like my dogs getting hit by a car, me falling down the stairs, me dropping my son, etc. I hate it...I try not to think about it.

Well, I feel better knowing that I'm not alone. Just wish it was something less destructive that we share in common.

I worry about everything. I take it after my mother because she worries about the smallest of things.

I worry all the time over nothing and it's been getting really bad lately and can't get it out of my head.
 
yes! It is the only thing i do really well too!:rolleyes: I heard a girl say something a few years ago which sums it up beautifully...."Even when i don't have anything to worry about, i worry about not having anything to worry about"!::p:

All the time! 100% worried about school, finding a job, getting a house (eventually), my health, my dog, finding a partner hopefully before I die of old age, or a heart attack because I worry so much.... Too much.... :eek:

I have always been a worrier as a kid I was always obsessing over something. I think this anxiety interfered with my social development. In middle school I would isolate because I was always so preocupied with something it was either my health or my parents health. When I got older I got on medication, this helped with my obsessiveness but I realized I was ill equipped socially. Today I worry about being alone for the rest of my life.
 
I'm already sitting here worrying about an interview I'm giving tomorrow, and it's over msn. :rolleyes: I worry about EVERYTHING.

half the time I don't even know what im worried about, but I am, constantly. never living in the moment, always distracted by a possible what if. INSTEAD of thinking what is. hours a day are devoted to worrying. i make sure i schedule time in to worry or i won't get things done~

Yea, I worry a lot about worse-case scenarios that most likely wouldn't happen (the what if's) or about the next social situation I have to endure. I often lose sleep over it too.

I worry so much that my grandma often thinks I'm high on something due to my shaking and overall nervousness.

Someone once told me ''If you werent smart you wouldnt worry, cuz people who arent smart wouldnt think too much''
But i prefer to be smart :rolleyes: Even though with SA.
