Apr. 21st, 2008 09:56 amI was talking with J. about the whole T. situation- how worried I was about her, how I felt like I somehow should have known, etc. The entire family is very close friends of ours, pretty much family...though we don't see them nearly as often as I'd like.
Anywho, in the course of our conversation he said something that struck me. We were discussing how he felt about it and, in addition to being worried about her, he was also worried about me. He said something like "I'm worried that if you keep stressing out and worring so much you'll end up like her." Now, I am a worry-wart. And I well know that stress as such can not, in and of itself, cause heart failure though it is also not good for your heart/body. Still, it was an interesting reaction to me.
I guess I really do need to chill out and take things as they come. It's always easier for me to obsess since then I can think of things that let me be more in control...but maybe it isn't worth the cost.
