The state of the U.S. economy is my main concern right now.

I feel selfish for worrying about myself. I'm scarred that I won't be able to deal with the future, find a job and happiness. When I was a little kid I loved my history books and I would live in this world I built from those pages.

Now I need to 'grow up' but it feels like I'm a step behind all the time. Once my peers get to the next level I feel as if I'm on the rung just beneath. I can't say anything like this 'in real life' because I'll alienate the few people I talk to and drag them down.

I just want to walk off into the woods and not come back.


Those worries are understandable, I'm sure most of us have felt like that at some point. I think you should talk to at least one of your peers, they are more likely to sympathize with you than to be "dragged down", because you are both at the same stage in life, doing the same type of work. You may be surprised that they share your concerns.
Just keep climbing the ladder, it's all you can do. Learn your work, put your best foot forward, and you'll succeed. And above all, don't waste time comparing yourself to others who seem to have progressed further than you. Because there are always new opportunities coming up, and others could be fired if they lied to get ahead, so things are always changing, and people's 'positions' are always shifting in relation to each other.

I dropped out of school this semester and I'm worried about my mom finding out. Strangely enough though, I feel better now having just left all my classes entirely than when I was going to them on/off and failing. Even though I'm lying about going to classes, it's easier having a bunch of Ws on my transcript than failing a semester. Still don't want my mom to find out though. :/


It's your life, who cares what your mom thinks?
That said, of course it's easier if you don't have to go to class. Maybe if you took a year off, you could go back to college afterwards? Then you'll be more motivated, because you are trying to get a better job, even though the path is more challenging, it will be worth it.

I shouldn't care, because I'm living with my real family now, but I'm afraid my whole family will shun me for the "slander" (I bet they'll say it isn't true but it is) I posted about my parents.

I worry that I'm not good enough for God. I worry about one denomination being more correct than the other. I worry about being cast into hell for associating with hippies or hipsters (of which many have the same interests as me, but who many of which are atheists, agnostics, or pagans)

If your family shuns you, especially for making your own choices, then they're not worth wasting energy on. IMO.

I'm so scared my mother might get one of those password cracking programs to crack my account and delete my s**t. I'm terrifed. And she'll say it was for my own good, for my own safety, because she loves me. I'm so f*****g scared. At least let me back it up, please.

I'm worried that come the end of the contract, they'll let me go because I'm too old and make too much money (it's strange that way, but if you do the same thing long enough without getting fired, you reach the top of your 'pay scale/band/etc', and theoretically, you can't get any more raises).

The company I work for is always out to save a buck; every time someone quits here, they don't replace the person, they just farm more work out to the remainder. But I don't have to worry until '09.

I think you should stop taking the Bible so literally, it's supposed to help you lead a good life, not engulf you in fear. Let's be honest, every person thinks that their religions is right, and every person within that religion things that their denomination is right. I think you should just cool down and try your best to be a good person.

I'm worried about all the freakin' aversive therapy aka tough love in this world. Negative motivation. Do your homework or your parents will see your marks and yell at you. Go out with your friends even if you don't feel like it and do something you don't feel like doing, just because you don't know how to explain why you feel like s**t and how they can help and that you want them with you but going out and trying to have fun the normal way will just torture you. If not, you lose your friends. This, that.

I am worried about my weight.

Also worried as I love two people, though the one of them who is currently 'with' me is okay with that.

I'm worried that the more depressed I get, the more depressed I'm going to get, because the more people I'll be pushing away with my unattractive complaining and irritability and s**t.


I was "disturbed" like this since I was in high school and it just accelerated, got worse and worse, as more things popped up to be embarrassed or worried or depressed or resentful about. I was jsut as bitter about the things that had already happened though.

I'm worried that i'm never going to have the motivation or intellegence to complete a course.

I'm worried that i'm never going to be employed and when i'm older that i'm going to be a homeless crazy cat lady.

I'm worried of what my family thinks of me in terms of my academic achievements.

I'm worried that I wont live beyond age 25.

I'm worried that my blood test results will come back and i'll be diagnosed with some horrific medical condition. 8O

I'm worried of the fact that I can't figure out why I worry so much.

I'm worried about posting a pic on this site. I'm probably just self-conscious but I think I look ugly in pictures. :(
