Hey Guys,
You guys have been such a great help to me, but now of course my mind is occupied with very depressing thoughts. As you may know, my previous problem was being scared that my anxiety problems were going to cause me to go looney and that I wouldn't be able to be a normal daddy for my 15 month old daughter. I'm happy to say that my anxiety has tapered off, mainly due to these forums and Claire Weeke's book.
Now, in the midst of all the dealings with the US and North Korea I find myself terrified that the world is going to end soon due to a nuclear bomb. I keep thinking that sooner or later we are all going to die because the world is going to break out into an all out war. And then once those fears subside I start thinking about global warming, and then I'll think about us having a major earthquake (I live in California), and then I'll think about terrorists killing us...the list goes on and on. And to tell you the truth, if I were single with no children I could care less. I mean, I don't worry for myself. I just get sad when I see my little girl laughing and playing without a care in the world knowing that it's all going to come to an end one day or that she's going to have much bigger problems later on in life becuase of the world chaos. Don't get me wrong, I love watching little Bella laugh and smile and chase our little doggies around and stuff, but the thoughts of the world ending really distract me from enjoying life to the fullest.
It also seems like more and more people are talking about the end of the world nearing. But this could be all in my head.
Please help...thanks so much.
