Miljah, I honestly thought i was the only one who felt like that. I could have written that word for word. I feel that a judgement is coming on to the West. There is so much suffering in the world, and we've done nothing to alleviate it really, yet it's only an accident of birth that we are here and not there. The Yazidi mothers love and fear for their families just as we do, and look what they have had to go through.
I worry about my parents. They are relatively young and healthy, but I'm afraid I won't cope with watching them grow old and frail. I love them so much, and I'm an only child and I can't imagine a world without them.
I worry that we'll be in a car crash and everyone will die except me
I worry that anything and everything will happen to my DC, from them dying in their sleep, to slipping out of my grasp in front of a car, to developing an illness,to getting into abusive relationships as adults.
I worry that my DH will drop dead of a stroke aged 40, they run in his family at that age.
I worry about going back to work after maternity leave.
I worry about the house burning down.
Carbon monoxide
The tumble dryer exploding
The boiler sounding funny
The car sounding funny
The tree in the garden falling upon the house.
Climate change, Brexit.
Money.
It's exhausting. I can't imagine a life where you wake up and worry about nothing. I've worried every day of my life that I can remember. I used to lie awake as a small child and have a sick knot in my stomach over the possibility of nuclear war
