“I feel serious anxiety about all of the terribly things that happen in the world every day, specifically around something terrible happening to those I love, and having to live without them. I’m always living as if the sky is falling, wondering when the next thing is going to go wrong that would be super upsetting or hard to deal with. Sometimes the anxiety feels all-consuming and I can’t move forward or get things done because I’m so worried about everyone. I’m going to try, when I start thinking about those horrible possibilities, to not let my worries and fears keep me from enjoying the good things that I have now - I want to be present. In case anything does happen to anyone I love, I wouldn’t have wanted to spend all of my time with them worrying about the potential disasters. I’m really going to try to work on that.”
