Worrying intensely about the future. Imagining the worst. Will I be homeless on the street penniless etc etc. I hate catastrophic thinking.
I am going through the same thing at the moment. I do not see a future for me. I’m worried sick that I am going to end up on the streets very soon.
It’s a horrible feeling isn’t it? Things will probably turn out ok, but the worrying about it is the worst thing.
I have GAD and always had problems with catastrophic thinking. It’s very distressing. I definitely can commiserate with you @everhopeful
For me the future looks grim. Especially finances which fuels my extreme fears. I cannot think how everything will turn out ok. I only see an impending doom. I really hope this will pass…soon
Yes, I’m the same. Financial worrying is the worst.
Apply for disability
omg… for the longest time ive been worrying about the same time… ending up on streets. i think my family hates me and wants to isolate me like they did before, and force me to do things i cant do. and only hurt me. i figure its okay if i end up on streets. i finally die and thats okay. all i ever wanted
Once I stop working the trouble will begin, will get disability, but it is not enough to live on. Drives you crazy when you think about it.
Sorry you’re dealing with this, @everhopeful. Anxiety about the future can be really hard to deal with. Hope you get some peace and feel better soon. Best wishes.
