Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of nervousness, apprehension, fear, or worry.

It was another day of waking before dawn and tossing and turning fitfully. I do not deal well with uncertainty hanging over me. I suppose I am one who likes to feel in control, even if it is perhaps an illusion. I had weaned myself from sleeping pills for several months, but if this continues I guess I will need to visit my doctor for a new prescription.

I continue to appreciate the messages and support that have come in a steady stream from readers. It does make it all so much better in the moments I start to slip toward depression. My days are busy, so it is easier to forget, but come the wee hours of the night and morning, my mind simply seems to shift into overtime in worry and analysis. True, it does not make things any better, but it is hard to block out the thoughts.

Today I will have a number of client meetings and then later a"dress rehearsal" for the estate planning seminar in the morning sponsored by HRBOR and the Sheraton Waterside. Fortunately, I will be double teaming with HRBOR's president who is with Merrill Lynch. Nonetheless, I will be happy when noon rolls around tomorrow.
