I don't believe this thread belongs in the anxiety forum because it's not panic/anxiety as such.

But what it is, is worrying for the sake of it. Worrying seems to be my life. If there was nothing to worry about, I have to find something to worry about in order to function!

Yes I have had major worries in the past and I was brought up with having to worry. And yes I have some real financial worries, they are fact. But I find myself, for example with 2 days off from work but regardless of this fact I am going to worry about work. I am going to wake up at 2am worrying about an issue that can't be fixed in the darkness but nevertheless I'm going to lie there solving the worlds problems because it is absolutely necessary!

Then I get a call from work at 3am, which is a real issue that needs solving, I solve it as best I can and that reinforces the need to worry even more. ( Aha! You see, good job you worried about it, aint it!)

Is that what my life is all about? Chief worrier? I don't think this is what life should be but even if there was nothing to worry about I seem to truly need it!!!
