Seriously what do you think about the most you wish you didnt?

How Soon Is Now

When your alone or even just deep in taught and ignoring whats going on around you do you ever think about things and find they just made you feel worse?

For example since my school days ive went threw stages of basically wondering am i pissing my life away.

I lie in bed some nights everyone else is asleep but im there thinking what the **** will become of me and my life in the end? I have this fear that time will just pass me by and one day it will be to late.

So ya on that depressing note :pac: What goes threw your mind?

I worry about my health and future but when things are good, I worry about my family. When they're good, I worry about friends and when I've nothing to concern myself about them, I start on my own mortality...

Sometimes I think I'm/ we're programmed to suffer a base level of anxiety at all times!

If you don't understand the OP first post get some of your favourite fresh fruit. The more perishable the better. Don't eat it. Put it into a clean bowl. Now watch it. Put on a radio or something but don't listen attentively. Continue to watch the fruit. Until it has gone putrid and there is a pong about the room. Completely.

Ofcourse I don't have the time for this. I’ll keep following the thread though.

I think I can relate to the OP.

Mine is my age.

I'm constantly paranoid about where I am at, professionally, for this stage in my life.
And should I have a pension?
And don't other people my age have mortgages?
And why have I not travelled more for my age?
And do I appreciate that I will be thirty in a few years?

And as much as people say "enjoy your twenties", all I can think of is how I'm wasting them, therefore in the process, am actually wasting them.

Exactly what goes through my mind...

The fact that I have no friends. This bothers me a lot too. Nobody to chat to, nobody to spend time with or have fun with, just nobody, only me.

I think about how I got a good degree in a growing industry about 10 years ago, and I didnt grasp the opportunity it gave me with both hands. I could be sitting pretty now, the recession just something that happened to other people. I think the older I get the more galling it's going to become.

I think about my ex who dumped me 2 years ago by text even though I shouldn't. I haven't had a gf since.
I think about the fact I've just turned 24 and I've only had 1 gf. I only have 1 really good friend. My school mates are all in relationships. I think about how everyone else on the likes of Facebook seem to have an amazing active social life whilst I just work and go out on a Friday. Its all part of the anxiety I suffer from. Its a nasty mental illness. I've a good personality, most people that get to know me end up liking me. Ive done some cool things like travelled to asia solo and a teaching myself guitar this year. But anxiety has held me back from so much. I just wish it would fcuk off and let me enjoy each day as it comes. Just live in the moment.

Honestly I don't have any regrets it might sound cheesy but at least when I die I can say for better or for worse I've always done things my way.

All my screw ups (and there have been many) have been as a consequence of my own actions and thus I take pride in them too.

Macavity.

Everything, I can't turn my brain off. It's thinking all the time, and usually quite negatively.

My girlfriend before we met she had never had a proper boyfriend where together bout 4 years now really it means nothing if u meet the right person u will click either way!

I lost contact with a lot of my friends I've a couple now but it's better that way there very close friends i no I can trust them. No one needs a ton of friends! Even one good mate is great :-)

Don't ever go by what people do on Facebook it's all mostly false bull**** most Facebook users only post when they want to brag about something or get attention in reality there life's are normally no different to most people.

I'm probably one of the most negative people u could meet but I'm fine once I'm not alone or I'm busy so think about it that way!

Its a consequence of leading such easy lives.

Do you think the people in Gaza/Iraq or other war torn countries give thought to these petty things? They spend their days trying stay alive and build some sort of life for themselves, not worrying about 'Why are all my Facebook friends getting married and I'm still single'.

Not our fault we just happened to be born into a less **** country then some other people where is it?

I'm very close to my grandmother, I talk to her every other day at the least. She's recently had a bad bout of pneumonia and was hospitalised for ten days, and I'm thousands of miles away. I couldn't get to see her, and I was petrified she'd die. She's in her eighties and I know she won't be with me forever, but every time I see her I'm absolutely terrified it'll be the last.

I know it can happen anyone at any age, at any time, but I really don't know what I'll do without my gran.

Of course they worry about that stuff. It's built in to humans to worry about social stuff. Do you think there are no marriages, no funerals, no births in Gaza? That stuff keeps happening no matter what is going on so of course they worry about that stuff, just while they're getting bombed. They're not less human because of what's happening, it's just what a lot of people want to think of people in "conflicts."

My thoughts are generally concerned on making my life better. It can be really difficult to think about at times, ways I can "improve." I'm not sure how healthy that is.

A best friend who is no longer a friend but is still in the same circle of people I see.

I'm never great with degrees just absolutes and it's easy for me when I don't see him then even after six months I might see him and can't think about anything but our friendship ending.

will I ever get a proper secure full time job:(

would really hope where im working works out.(love it there)....instead of this constent short term contracts/never really knowing where you stand

would love to move out/buy a better car...but don't want to be tied to a loan/lease and be on the dole....ive me mind made up to emigrate at least for a yuear or two if im let go again

and spend too much time trying to build up the courage to pick up the phone and phone/text friends I haven't heard from in weeks...and then I find its too late to do it...and same thing happens again the following evening

Am I doing right as a parent, it's all consuming sometimes. Weighing up if you're been too hard/too easy, making them too independent/too dependent. Does he feel secure, are we doing enough to keep him mentally stimulated. Making all these choices for him that could change his life, will he understand why we didn't baptise him, will he resent us for going to an educate together school. Is he happy?
Granted he's only 2, but being a parent is scary.

Being unemployed/unemployable in my mid 50's, with a mortgage that will need to be paid for until my mid 60's.

Seriously, take a look around your workplace, how many people are there in their mid 50's?

And how many of them were new hires?

When I was young I used to worry about nuclear war...

...FFS :pac:

Angry_Mammarys

Constantly worrying! , worrying about if I upset people, worrying about stupid stuff like if I have a cough, is it a cough, or am i dying :rolleyes: , worrying about people I care about, the most annoying one is, being in bed at 2am then wondering if I turned off the plugs or the cooker, or if the dog has water:rolleyes:
