    I sit and worry when I am alone.

    It's weird, up until recently I was a real worrier. In years gone by, if I had a lot of work on (particularly early in my career) I would get so stressed I'd lie awake at night wishing it to be the morning so I could get back to doing the work.

    If a situation in my life could have a 'bad' outcome, I would sit and really think about it and then in my mind, I knew the worst outcome wouldn't happen. I used to think (although I knew it was rubbish!) that if I didn't envisage the worst thing, then it would happen! :confused:

    However, recently, something seems to have turned my ability to worry off completely. I can't even force myself to worry about things - I've tried, it is really, really weird.

    Some days and nights I just worry non stop and then I have a phase when I just feel numb and 'let them come and get me'ish. Then sometimes I'm really angry 'it's not my fault 'ish.
    Today I'm a mixture of all three but mainly sad.
    I got as far as phoning the debtline thingey today but couldn't get through.
    Time for a drink me thinks. :o

    I really don't know, but it is as if the worry gene has completely been switched off. I'm not saying I'm running around in gay abandon (me - run anywhere? :rotfl: ) but I just can't worry - however hard I try. It's all linked in to all the carp I went through, perhaps it is one of the positive outcomes of it all.

    Ihave a large box full of odds and ends of freebie sachets, bottles etc and I chuck toiletries in when I buy them, it's a right old aladdins cave of moisturisers, shampoo sachets etc.

    I was just looking to see if I had any cold/flu lempsip things lurking in there ( I do! hurrah!) and I found a sachet self tan wipe. I must have got it as a freebie as it isn't something I'd buy.

    I'm going to throw caution to the wind and use it on my arms :D Ihaven't been out in the sun at all so I'm no different colour wise.

    However, I have had a number of orange catastrophes over the years trying the bottles of self tan so much that I won't use any of them.

    i'll let you know if I have tango arms :rotfl:
