I'm worried I'll get used to him not being here, yet again...
I'm worried he won't come back

I'm worried he's going to lie about why he's moved out and not take responsibility

I'm worried of what I'm going to do to myself once this bottle of wine is finished

I'm worried that he'll leave me.

I'm worried that I can't cope with it all any more.

I'm worried this is it. That this emptiness is all there is for me.

I'm worried that my family don't care about me anymore.

I'm worried that everything I have worked so hard at is going to fall apart, and I really will be back where I was before.

I'm worried that I haven't changed and that I never will.

I'm worried that I will keep fading into the background, getting fatter and uglier and less important every day.

I'm worried that the people I love will find out what a fraud I am.

A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I'm the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same." -Federico Fellini's 8 1/2

I'm worried that I won't pass my grad school classes.
I'm worried that I won't ever fit in at my job - and that I'll live in Germany for two years with nothing to show for it.
I'm worried that someone will find out my secrets.
I'm worried that I won't ever be truly happy.

i have a t appt later today with someone i haven't seen before. i'm worried i won't like them, worried i won't be able to say what i need to, worried they won't understand, worried they won't be available as often as i need. i'm also worried about not getting to sleep. i will have to set my alarm to get up on time for the appt and i'm worried about being really tired and not able to get up or get out of the house (cos i haven't gone out in a while).

too many worries. i feel like saying it doesn't matter and skipping my appt, just to avoid all these problems. they are only possibilities though, i won't know unless i try. *tries to try*

I'm worried that I won't have the courage to do what I know would help
I'm worried that if I end up doing it, it won't actually help anyways
