so anxious about so many things

D.,

It is hard when you have a whole list of things that are bothering you...a pile of concerns that are mounting up.

At times like this, I like to prioritize my issues...decide what is worth concentrating on with some 'constructive worry'...and what I need to just let go.

The budget issue is of course something that you will want to get hammered out. When you are able to take some time to really go over it and get it set straight, then do so...but until that set time, don't let it take over your thinking. Tell yourself. "I will deal with that when I get home, it is not time to worry about it now."

The denture fitting and Rx worrries will work out fine. Yes, there are some steps that need to be taken to get where you need to be for accomplishing getting these things done...but it is nothing you can't handle.

The clothing worry is probably background chatter/worry in your brain because you are stressed about other things. You rationally know that your clothes are not going to fall apart...but the worries are there still the same. I have experienced irrational worry...and it is a strange thing indeed! Even if you understand that the concern is not realistic, it still remains and causes uncomfortable thoughts.

Using your coping skills to decompress and lower overall stress levels should quiet these worries.:)

Thoughts and prayers going out to you!
