Are you a constant worrier?

A partial worrier. I just worry that if I'm not around here in OT, who's going to rub cake? :P

There are a....couple of things that I always constantly worry over. But other than that, I don't think I worry too much about other things.

Yes and I can't help it. It comes and goes in more bad weeks when I fret about everything, and good times where I'm more relaxed. I worry mainly about what people think of me and I'm constantly judging the overall mood of a conversation. A good day for me is when I feel that everyone I spoke to was happy and engaged. If I feel that I spoke too much, or bored people it worries me for ages. I have a really bad memory so I constantly have the feeling that I've forgotten something and I worry about that too. I've always used a filofax and lists etc but recently I've become mega organised, using filofax, lists, software and 2 notepads. I used to tidy my room and write up lists every so often to clear my head but nowadays my room is spotless all the time and I write lists every other day or so and all my receipts are written up onto a spreadsheet. The organisation doesn't affect my life - I don't sit at home all day making lists, I fit it around my usual day i.e. in a quiet hour at work. I'd give anything to be more relaxed but I just can't switch my brain off. I think it's also why it takes me so long to get to sleep every night.tofu-lion91

You seem to have a similar problem as me, actually a few people in the thread seem to have it and my advice is go to a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I for way too long felt like it was just part of my character and somehow ill manage. Putting off getting help ended up with my being afraid to leave the house and taking a break from school on the last year of univeristy basically putting my life on hold.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

I worry about a lot of things in my life. I don't really tend to worry about others unless they are very close to me. I'd say I do put a lot of unneeded stress on myself.
