The future. I doubt I'll be ready for it.

@SW-User can we ever be fully prepared?

SW-User

@Ghostinthemachine Maybe not. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally at least for the challenges ahead.

@SW-User one piece of advice I was given or heard or read was:
90% of all stress and worry is unfounded, meaning what we worry about will, in the end, prove nothing to worry about.
This has helped me a lot, and I’ve found for the most part, holds true

@Ghostinthemachine Most of the things I worry about are either happening now or imminent. There are family with serious health problems who have needed my help in the past and mostly likely will continue to need it in the future. My own health and resources are not sufficient to provide for those I care about as well as I'd like.

@SW-User yeah, then my advice is useless

I’m
So sorry for the situation you are in. You’re a good person for helping those in need, and it’s why you feel this worry, and carry this burden 🤗

@Ghostinthemachine Thank you for your understanding. 🌼
