I used to do this alot. I would find myself stressing over the future, my work, the kids, marriage, financial circumstances, my health you name it.

I used to drive myself mental over it.

Nowadays I tend to live in the "here and now" and try not to think too far ahead.

I liked that song a few years ago about suncream, one line goes something like " Some of the most interesting people I have met didn't know what they wanted to do at the age of 40".

Sometimes I think it's less stressful to see what life brings, rather than planning it all out, because we know what can happen to the best laid plans ;)

You're not alone. Worrying about life is necessary sometimes to get things done, but don't let it run your life, just allow it to remind you that you need to get things done, and then relax and take your time while doing them (ie assignment, paying bills, accomplishing anything).
Don't worry about what will happen so much, I know it's hard, but I find it better to make your life the way you want to live by reminding yourself that you can be whoever and whatever you want to be, you're your own person, don't forget and don't let other people or other problems get in the way of happiness for you :)

It's all insecurity. I worry I will never meet a new girlfriend, worry I will never find a career I like..when I look back on where I was two years ago I've done alot of positive. I'm worried about moving out but it's a positive and will happen eventually. It's rare you get stuck going no where unless you give up and don't make changes.

I think if God cares about a little bird, he cares way more about you.

I'm currently in your situation Sophia except I have a brand new mortgage to weigh down on me.

But trust me, do not worry about where you will go in life and death because you have more time than you realize. This is from someone who has past the 40 year mark 2 years ago. For me age 22 seems like eons ago.

Went for some walks, saw friends and did exercise. Still worrying at the same time but feel a bit better :)

Also going to attempt to go out with friends tonight !!(arghhhh)
