No worries!

I have a philosophy of the very simple aforementioned phrase. Basically, a lot of people worry about possible scenarios happening to them. Most of which never even materialise. So my motto is “why worry about something which is beyond your control?”

I am constantly surrounded by anxiety , as previously mentioned in my blog of my husband suffering with mental health issues. He worries about so many things. Such as getting cancer, catching Covid, being bitten by spiders. I say to him, why worry about something until you know for certain that you need to worry? Even if a doctor refers you to a hospital for a scan, the moment that you should start to worry about something more sinister should be when the malignant diagnosis has been made. Other than that, the negative thoughts should not even enter your psyche.

It’s important to stay positive. The fact of the matter is, we don’t know how long we have on this planet. Life is not infinite. Can we afford to waste time on worrying about things which are mere possibilities rather than certainties? Let’s enjoy every moment of our lives rather than worrying and speculating!

Funny how when someone asks you who you are, the first thing that pops into your head is what job you do. Well that’s what’s happened with me here, introducing this blog. Actually, let me say a bit about my personality first, as that’s more important! You can learn about my occupation later. Your occupation shouldn’t define who you are as a person! Should it? So, I am a 39 year old (beginning to feel anxious about the changes ahead coming!) I would describe myself as an empath and am very in tune with people’s feelings. I sense emotion very easily in people and if they are feeling anxious it sneaks up on my radar immediately. For the past 13 years, I have been in a relationship with someone who has increasingly suffered from anxiety and depression and that has taken its toll on me too. It’s not been easy to deal with the ups and downs that anxiety and depression provide the carers of the people suffering (who are told day by day that we don’t understand and don’t care about them), which simply isn’t true! Interestingly, or not, perhaps to you (I wouldn’t like to make presumptions) , I am also adopted. I have made a lot of progress over the years, managing to track down information about my past. I would be interested to hear from any other fellow adoptees about whether your scenarios are similar to mine or whether you “suffer” from the same character traits as I do. Well that’s a start to who I am. Perhaps you will want to find out more?
