It takes quite a bit to stop the worrying in the night (daytime, too...)

I had to use medications to help with the PTSD symptoms.

Thanks for posting the article.

At least I can claim to come by it honestly. My dad and his mother are the world’s worst worriers, and my grandpa on my dad’s side was basically a professional pessimist. That can be a nasty hereditary combination.

I’m a world class worrier and always have been. I can and have literally made myself sick worrying about possible scenarios. However, since I became a Christian last Spring my worrying IS decreasing. I still do a lot of it but am trying to turn ALL my worries over to God and and am
trying to trust him to handle everything. I can manage to do that for a few minutes or hours and am slowly working towards doing it for infinity. I say this prayer aloud at least twice every day:

Dear Lord, I’m turning over all my fears and problems to You to handle today. I can’t fix a single thing by worrying about it - but you can fix anything because nothing is impossible for You! Thank You for my blessings,
big and small. Thank You for Your loving care for me. Thank You for being in charge of my day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
