Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Terrible, Awful, Worrying Week! - please read

I havent posted here in a while, but here is our week so far.  Monday noticed that the gas and electric had taken nearly £100 to much.  1. Phone call and its sorted out so that was good.  2.  Developed a water leak which is leaking when the shower is working, its landing in the living room, been on to the insurance to discover they only cover the ceiling if damaged.  They dont cover the wet floor being pulled up and the pipe fixed.  So its down to us we arent well off.  Currently looking for builders.  The ceiling is liable to come down at any time.  Its right 


above our major computer.  Also we have only just a few days ago come back from holiday and I had 2 hours of ironing to do.



Hoping that the quotes are not too high.  


Really worried, no one to help, most family are either living in a different part of the country, or dead.

So sorry Ruth. That's a lot to deal with, ugh.

Maybe try to look at it this way... see if this helps at all... That it is lucky that you discovered this leak now, before things got even worse with that leak. You caught it now, which is a good thing. I don't know how bad it is, but I don't think the whole ceiling will come down very soon. You will have time to get it fixed.

You successfully took care of the gas and electric over charges. Good for you!

You did all that ironing. A success!

Hard to do, but maybe try to look at the positive parts of these hassles you are dealing with. That things could be worse.

Thinking of you and so hoping it all gets sorted out soon.

Anxiety about what might be is always terrible, but, at least in my experience, it's never as bad as I expect. Take what steps you can (like with the utility bill... nice work getting that sorted) and try and have faith that things will work out okay.

I can understand that! We’ve been dealing with a leak in the bathroom that I share with my brothers (I live at home with them and our parents). At first, we thought it was the toilet. My brother pulled out the toilet, replaced the floor - the floor wasn’t in good shape but we thought it was okay. Now we think it’s coming from the shower. We all use the shower in my parents’ bathroom - the last time I attempted a shower in my bathroom, I had a severe panic attack. I literally felt like the ground was falling. That was hard to overcome.
It’s an expense for sure, but I pray that something comes through for you. My brother has a friend that is knowledgeable about all that stuff, but they’re slow to fix it - fortunately for us, the leak hasn’t been horrible but my anxiety is that the floor will fall apart.
