I know stress will cause heart problems.
But people like me who go through a "daily ritual" of anxiety are probably even more susceptible to heart problems. I'm scared I might be shortening my life by worrying so much. =(
My secret goal (maybe a bit of an unreasonable goal, maybe not) is to live to see the 22nd century (year 2101, I'll be 118). When I'm elderly, living to 100 will not be unreasonable. But if I die at 50 of a heart attack, I will have no chance of that.
Anyone else worried about the health effects of their anxiety/worrying?

Michael when in nursing school we had to write our obituary as an assignment. Mine was I was 120 living in Florida across from the beach ran 5miles daily till 80 then had to walk them. Then at 120 was sitting on a bench on the beach with the sun under a palm tree and the water so beautiful. I got chest pain and died of a heart attack. Well with all the health problems as you age I'm not sure I want to live to be that old although there is a Chinese man 103 in our neighborhood walks three times a day so anything is possible.

Join me in.
On the positive side, they have found a large underground lake in Darfur, so at least there's hope......

Yeah lately I've been sorta concerned about it. There seems to such an onslaught (spelling??) of stress/anxiety/worrying about my son that I can't imagine it isn't having an effect.
I hadn't thought about how long I'd like to live, given the choice!! Hmmmm Depends on how I'm experiencing life, I guess.

And the research isn't going so badly either, although my professor is visiting us tomorrow, and I'm slightly worried my co-worker and I haven't done enough, but hey.

Just as well it's a lake of water.
An oil one would be enough to finish them off.
