panic about change

Im so sick of being terrified of change. The business that i have been working for for the past 15 years is selling in 3 years. I'm so scared to start a new job it terrifies me. My anxiety is so debilitating. And then my ex who has cheated on me more than once wants to date again and my anxiety is through the roof about it. My anxiety runs my life and im so sick of it :(

Just watched a video and it said anxiety mostly stems from futuristic thoughts. We have to live in the now. Youve got 3 years.... one day at a time. Think of it as a positive change. New friends, maybe an opportunity to go to a smaller company or larger depending on what you might prefer. Get rid of the ex... you dont need a cheater. You need someone that will find more ways to love you rather than more people to love.

Look at the positive side about the business selling, at least you know 3 years before it happens! It could be worse, you could have just walked into work 3 years from now and been told to go home because the business has been sold. Then it could be a lot worse. You have 3 years to find a job. Maybe you could start thinking about a job you have always wanted to do. There are so many possibilities out there that are open to you having this knowledge and time frame. As for the ex, you shouldn't even be thinking about her. You shouldn't even let her have the pleasure of crossing as a thought in your mind. Cheaters will continue to cheat, they never change. If she did it to you more than once before, why would this time be any different? I hope you are able to lessen the anxiety some and will keep you in my prayers. :)

two prisoners looked outside their cell window. One saw mud, the other saw stars.

open your heart to what's good in life. i think you have enough work experience to sail into another job.

Good luck, and God bless you.
