Letting anxiety or depression creep back in, I’ve made a conscious effort for when the pendulum swings back from happiness, motivation, desire or among other feelings to stay away from what feels like quick sand or a roller coaster that has no sight of ending.

And control, I can’t certainly control everyone or everything but no control of self means I lack ability to influence or change. In some ways for me this goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression.

Trump nuking N. Korea.

That our Moron in Chief and his pal Pillsbury Doughboy in N.K. are going to bring on a Nuclear Armageddon. Niether of them has anything between the ears but a bag of marshmellows. Giving nuclear weapons to people like that is like handing a loaded revolver to a toddler.

That I’ll have to take my SS before age 70.

I don’t worry about North Korea. I always figured there would be a nuclear exchange between two nations before I bit the dust. Never figured it would be/could be the US that was one of the two, but what the hell…

Having to wake up , get dressed , have breakfast and go to anything. Between the waking up and appointment my fear is staring at the clock and running out of time. Also being homeless In a ruined world.

That my daughter-in-laws whose health has been slowly spiralling downhill since her debilitating car accident seems to be getting worse much more quickly of late. We knew that the injury and subsquent paralysis had increased the probability of an early death but she had seemed to be doing so well until this year.

Not sure what losing her will do to my son and their kids. She is their whole world.

@rojo I’m so, so sorry. Something happening to your kids or their families is the worst.

Love to my jellies going through difficult things.

For me:

Losing my health insurance or losing the laws that protect me from abuses at the hands of insurers.
Having my Crohn’s become active again, or spread to organs that it hasn’t previously affected.
Finding myself stuck in the cycle of needing surgery often to remove scar tissue created by previous surgeries.
