This might just be me, so I thought I would throw it out to the MN jury.
My life is going pretty well at the moment. Not perfectly, but well. There are things I want and things I am working towards, but I am content with my lot.
However, I find it difficult to really enjoy it - because at the back of my mind I am always expecting something bad to happen. I figure that things can't stay this good forever and that at some point something awful is going to happen.
Generally the awful thing I envisage is the illness/death of my loved ones. Now the likelihood is my parents will get ill and die at some stage, but hopefully that won't be for a little while yet (I'm 30, they are in their 60's, no health problems etc).
Why can't I just enjoy the life I have in the present? Is this a type of anxiety disorder? And does anyone else ever feel the same?
