worrying

At the diagnostic interview on Thursday, there were a bunch of questions about excessive worrying. I answered no to almost all of them (denial is my friend!) and felt guilty for not worrying sufficiently about the many ways the world is going to hell in a handbasket, but now I'm wondering if I should have. I'd forgotten the horrible keyed up, unable to calm down or go to sleep feeling that comes of worrying obsessively about something that I can't see a solution to. I guess if it happens infrequently enough that I could forget about it, it's not one of my main problems. And usually I can eventually convince myself that there is a way to cope, despite the lack of an optimal solution. Still, it sucks.

Oh. My. God. I once said almost this same thing to GB. Worrying about worrying? See, that's why you and I are friends. :)
