Geez, I am so glad to find out that my “worry” problem is genetic. I obsess over problems, situations, etc. When I’m talking to someone else about whatever it is that’s bothering me at the time I say “I need to quit harping over it.” At other times I think it’s because I have an overactive conscience, have always felt a great sense of responsability. Now that I know there’s a possible genetic connection, I just need to concentrate on minimizing the problem.
It’s been a real problem since I had a wreck in June. I can’t seem to get over the medical problems that came up after the wreck, have had many financial problems, my grown children have had problems that I have felt like I had to help with, even though financially I couldn’t afford to help, I felt a responsability to help and have put myself in debt when if I hadn’t felt like “mom should make it better” I would have just said I couldn’t afford to help. Maybe I’ll look for a “worriers anonymous” group in my area. Is there such a thing? cause I need it.

Hey,
It seems interesting to find our GE Wiz-Kids found the error in our genetric programme. The Woory gene. It is good that we know that we have the parental asset with us. Now It is also true that we can break this programme from working and playing havoc with our life.

I do have been worrying a lot, but few years back I learnt to deal with the worry factor. Just meditate over ur thoughts allow it come and go in mind and later you find there are no thoughts- for that to be sustained for as shor as 20 minutes a day should be possible for every one who wants to have worries controlled.
]Worry is necessary in life other wise it make a person “just there” without achievements- mean positive, but too much of every thing is bad including worry-success-growth and ultimately u find when we are at the end of life the worry continues– as to what next to do—- is it worth stretching ur worries in to the end of ur life to the grave yard? Not at all- Keep worry as a fator for postive solution and not negative problem.

The better we know about the nature/cause of worry, better it is, but we do rearey find time to brood over the cause of the worry. It is just not worth. Ask urself when worried - what will happen nest? You can find the solution- you will find an answer and the more we indulge in asking What next or So what? when presented with a worry or stress I think it will make things practical in life.

Spend some time alone, you will find u dont have things to worry.

i am the same way. i think i just read a big article about myself. although i agree with most of it. it won’t help this ponder. “everbody has to die sometime, no one lives forever.” repeat that, and you might end up being really afraid.

Oftentimes, One’s worries are purely legit and thus cannot be considered true mental or emotional issues. I have the need to entertain life’s problems, both my own and other’s who may or may not be close to me.

I tend to solve problems for others and stress over my own situations that seem to keep me riding a “rocket sled to Hell”.

This “it’s all in your head” approach to worry has its limits. Worry can be part of recognizing reality and dealing with it. We have global warming, disinformation, huge deficits, militarization, job and economic insecurity going on as well as personal issues. The solution above is a variety of feel-good psychology aimed at numbing oneself. Another approach is facile vagaries ala Wayne Dyer. Another popular solution is putting massive numbers of people on tranquilizers. We are a Soma nation.

You are talking about compulsive worry. Constructive worry has to start with a real problem and end either with some step toward solution or a conscious decision to put aside that battle for now. Not all worry is bad.
