Yes Len, my life is ruled by worry. I believe it's down to high intelligence - we can think of more things that may go wrong, and so have more to worry about! xx Jen

LOL Christine, my OH says the same about me! I can worry for England, but like to think I am just preparing myself in case the worst happens - if it doesn`t, that is great, but at least I am prepared and not disappointed! Frances

I used to be....but decided it didn't change a thing...and half of what worried me never happened...everything I didn't worry about did...so no...I rarely worry now XXX

The older I get the more I worry. I have seen and read of so many things happening to so many people that I become more and more aware of what could go wrong in any one situation. For some inexplicable reason I end up convincing myself that the worst possible result will happen, and my negative responses are often self prophesying. Dee x

I wish you hadn't put this thread up Len. I'm now worrying whether, if I reply I shall say the wrong thing but if I don't I'm worried that I may offend you:)) Chrissie *now shall I press send or not, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear - oh go on then*

to worry, is to be anxious, and anxiety leads to depression.
