Thanks TexasChic, likewise
> Rather than plan for the worst, why not plan for the best?
I feel like I can't plan for the best. I feel like it will be bad luck to plan for the best. I have to plan for the worse. It's twisted, I know. I gotta get into the whole, "I'm prepared to die sort of thing again." I think that might give me some relief. I just hate having things be out of my control.
>There's nothing you can do about it, right? So put it in God's - or fate's hands (whichever you believe in). If you can't do anything about it, then excessive worry won't solve anything, it only makes you feel bad.
I can't help it. I can't help but worry.

Thanks for trying to help.
