   Hi Justin,

   Thanks for the clarification.

   I agree with you that worrying can lead us to doing something about what we are worried about. In this way it can certainly have positive results. So I think we both agree on this.

   At my present state,49 yrs old, separated for a year and annulment is in its initial stage (husband filed), i agree that worrying is not futile because its a way of finding out what my problem is, think of possible sollutions and work on how to attain the answer to my problem(theory on possitive thinking)
   On the other hand, prior to my separation, i worried much of being alone as my daughters are in the marrying stage (2 girls with specified year of marriage)and my husband seems to have a committed but discrete affair. He declined a marriage couselling as he prefers that both of us has to change first. I proposed for a couselling as we were practically just living in one roof for 10 years. He is a Human RElations Director and knowing that he works with the end in mind, i went beserk of finding out his affair for about 3 years. Will comment more if this will not be published

   I was told I have irrational obsessive thoughts. I had a Nervous breakdown 6 months after my grandmother died.

   My thoughts are all irrational and I know they don’t make sense, but it is all too real for me. I am constantly trying to analyze the “what if and the buts”…..especially in relationship. I trust no one and always want to be left alone. I can’t move on and it has been ten years. I do go to a psychiatrist an I am on medications.

   Thank you

   Yvonne

   Worry is certainly futile but making plans for the future are necessary. There is however something we can control about the future; by taking action on the present.

   Hi BK, I guess I think it is important to take action in the present and in this way create our future. I don’t think it is complete control – but certainly more than we would have had if we didn’t act. Thanks for your comment.
