In your personal life, what causes you the most trauma?

What causes you the most trauma or fear or uncertainty or despair in your personal life?

I'm looking for real answer, not jokes.
Going to events where most people are with family. I never had one and feel extra lonely being singled out and isolated in the crowd.
@Anonymartyr I need to get offline. I need to go panning for food in a few hours in spite of the rain and my back pain. Rent and utilities takes all my disability benefits but at least I have a roof and my cat.
I would be happy to talk some more tomorrow.

@Anonymartyr Good luck. Do you believe in prayer?
And is that a mustache or a goatee?
@SteinbockundLoewe I belirve in prayer but I also know that things come according to God's timing and that the world is under close ecamination in preparation for the judgement.
The picture is a bit dated- about 6 years ago, just before I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis.
That is a goatee.

Work. I enjoy working but not some of the unnecessary stress that goes with it, like that arsehole senior member of management that's on a power trip, or the gossipy co-worker(s) that either spread gossip about you or jabber on in your face about other people all day, or that arsehole that moans all day, especially to their line manager causing problems for other people on a constant basis if they can't have everything their own way, or shift patterns that leave little room for a life outside of work, or when the threat of redundancy hangs over you. You'd think it would be so simple, you go in, do your job well, then come home and everyone's happy, can't understand why some people have to make a workplace such a stressful environment. What do they get out of it?
@Nomoretomorrow If only most work paid the rent, bills and food- but that doesn't happen. You have to take what work is available and probably still have to panhandle for meals. That is most employment these days.

Indeed, I'm working two jobs just to make ends meet. Knackered all the time

DH's anxiety is worsening. That affects me quite a bit.

@SteinbockundLoewe Yes. In many ways. I don't want to go into detail here.

@CoffeeFirst I feel neurotic at times myself.
Did you see The Shining (1980) with Jack Nicholson? Do you remember the scene in the giant room where Jack has an unhinged, confrontational dialogue with his defensive wife as she clutches a baseball bat for her protection? I feel as insecure as he does sometimes, I really love that scene!

@SteinbockundLoewe We are going to re-watch that movie for Halloween. My sister and BIL are seeing a psychiatrist and it made a difference for them both. So we are going to try that route. Best treatment for anxiety is meds + talk therapy, I've read, and it's highly treatable.
