Having a rough day, need some friendly motivation.

HEY ALL,

    So having kind of a crap anxiety day today. Found out this morning that my daughters music teacher passed away in his sleep. No biggie, didn't know the gentleman at all. Sad to hear for his family. Then today at work, my D.O.N. told me one of the nurses I have worked with for over a year also passed away in her sleep this morning. This one got to me. While I didn't know her out of work, I did have a professional relationship with her. And the last thing that happened today, another lady I work with had a stroke. All this happening of course got me thinking of death. And now incant shake the idea of dying in my sleep. I know I am a fairly healthy male and shouldn't worry about this, but just can't shake it.

    Just need some friends to help me out. I love y'all and appreciate the advice and help.

Chris

 

Poetic,

I would like to see someone rake a poll of nurse a see how many experience halt anxiety lol. Thank you for your post though. Glad I'm not alone thinking like this as a nurse.

MC.,

I am sorry to hear of all of this! That is a lot to process in one day...and plenty to fee your anxiety...I am sure that it is feeling quite satisfied, if not bloated!!;p

While it can be scary to hear of these stories, think of all of the acquaintences, freinds, collegues that didn't have any health issues today....but of course our anxiety only focuses on the negative.;(

Remeber my analogy of the lottery: If you heard of someone winning the lottery, you would not automatically think that you were next right? it is the same with this situation...hearing about it doesn't make it any more probable for you.

I hope that you can stomp those worries down and can enjoy a peaceful evening and have a good night's sleep.

Talk to you soon,

S.C.
