I am 28 years old, have a wonderful husband, a good job (for now) and our financial situation is getting better. My problem is that I have a thing that whenever something good happens, I feel like something is going to come along and take it away. If I have a really good weekend, I worry about Monday because that means I will have a bad week at work. I basically "what if" myself into panic. My mother was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and after the crying and the fear of her dying, I am what iffing about if she goes terminal, will I have to quit my job and move back to Florida? What if a HUGE hurricane hits while I am there taking care of her and we are homeless? Would my husband be able to take care of things while I am away? Keep in mind that none of this has even come to pass. If we do have financial bumps in the road, I always flash to being homeless or if I buy something at the store I say "Well what if I lose my job? and I am buying this" My husbands Grandfather recently passed and I was worrying about dying young because I am overweight so I started on a vitamin regimen. I am taking multi vitamins and fish oil for heart health and then I thought "what if the 2 react and my vitamin regimen kills me?" I cannot let myself just go with the flow and I want to be that way, but I think my brain is broken.

Am I nuts? Do I need meditation or therapy? Any input would help :eek:

Been there, done that as far as when things going to good something bad HAS to be around the corner.

ALL you really can do is play out each scenario and work on a plan that leaves you open to the changes. Like only buy the necessities and save what you can for if and when you need to go to Florida. Basically juggle everything to work both ways and be fruggle.

I see it all the time, people have good paying jobs and they don't think about the what if's
And they buy all the frivolous stuff to fill their house. Then they get laid off, poor health, etc... Then they end up losing their house.

You can worry too much and you can worry too little. Find a balance that works.

ANd no you are N0T nuts or needing meds.
Most people that I know that take meds for their mental health end up living in brain fog.
I think you are just pressuring yourself a little too much.
