I get severe anxiety at night. Am I doing enough? Am I taking care of myself enough? Who is going to help if something happens? Am I saving enough? On and on. My brain spirals at night.

And yes - I purposefully commented on an older post 🤣

@Ynotjenn the brain tends to do that when we are relaxed and vulnerable to such thoughts.
Try to remember that we will never have all of the answers, and while it’s good to ask them and re-evaluate once in a while, life is for living, so don’t let anything like your thoughts hold you back.

I like what you did there 🤭

@Ynotjenn that's an enormous weight to carry with you? We have no control over some things. For those things are not our responsibility. Therefore we are not to blame for what we have no way possible of controlling. Sure we can try our best and hope we guess correctly, let the people who are responsible for those things be held accountable. Stop torturing yourself. Be free from the guilt by knowing you've done your part.
