The thing about the future is I'm quickly running out of mine. You have your all ahead of you. You have plenty of time to shape your future.

I'm afraid my problems is more thinking about bad things that have happened in my past and still getting upset about them. I think when someone is depressed they should try to 'take one day at a time' ....that way you're not worrying about the future or the past ....and in theory it should be easier to deal with. Love M xx

I sort of just exist lately,I don't worry about the future,I lost everything so the only way is up(or to just exist)

I don't worry about the future more what I'm gonna do thats gonna fuck everything up in the future lol

dont know how too make myself feel better

Yes I get very insecure, I just hope that what ever comes mu may i can handle it and conquer!

I worry about the future of this planet, and pray for global peace each night, for without that none of us will wake up tomorrow. tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us. I worry about my driving, my husband driving and getting home safe. I am also worried about leaving thehouse, that something may happen to it or the animals. But the future, hey, I have aids, for 19 years already, I used to be worried about the future alot more, but I am still here and I got tired of worrying about it. I do have concerns tho, legitimate concerns. My mom is elderly and she has a pacemaker, so I am concerned about her and her living alone at age 84. I am concerned about the bills our finances can we afford a new mattress, that's today's concern. My back is very bad. But I am not worried about being back in the wheelchair again. I do believe we create our own realities to an extent which is why I have never and will never give up yet. I believe in the power of positive thinking. I believe in DS and my therapist and a universal power source who will support my thoughts be they negative or positive. I believe in me. I can do this, one baby step at a time. And so can you! I believe that. Make your future.
What is it that you want to do? Then take the steps to do it. I don't want to be depressed or fat or smoke or have a bad back. I am taking the steps, baby steps. You've taken a baby step by posting how you feel and that takes courage, keep on posting, and try doing one thing each day, if you can or each week, if you can to get closer to the bright promising future you deserve

Well, I have no fear of the future. I know what it holds, and have come to be at peace with that future. It's not the end result, it is the journey that is important, in my opinion.

I worry that I'm not making the right decisions to make a better future for myself. For example, if I choose Door A, then the future will be really good, but if I choose Door B, then it will just be okay and Door C, well, then life will just suck. It's too bad the damn doors aren't numbered! I'm not scared of what the future holds, just where I fit into it.

We all have a future no matter how old we are, what we ponder for our future just changes with age. I learned along time ago, not to "worry" about my future because worry wont change or help it. However, I ponder and I dream about what my future can be. Even in my illness I can set goals for my future and strive to reach them. I pray for my future that God will guide me to the best future for me. All that said, I still have twinges of worry that pop up for my kids and their futures, but I strive to dream and ponder theirs. For, worry, will only set off cycles for me and delay my positive, forward moving endeavor in my journey. I use alot of coping skills so I am not tempted to worry. I try very hard to see the positive side of everything even when I am down. I make lists of coping skills to get me through the cycles I experience. That way I am prepared to challenge them head on. With each evolution of a cycle I learn and grow adding to the knowledge and love I have for myself.

thanks for all the comments really appreaciate it thank you

Yes everyday I wonder..and some time I wish I could just peek into the future just for a few seconds....sometime it seem to hard..sometim it seem that its not worth the next breath...then I think maybe my next breath may be THE one that change my life for the better...so I pause and hold on to hope..and thanks to the community I get a lot of hope and suppport

The future holds only the best for me. I'm still very young - I have so much life to live.

Looking into the future through "depressed eyes" is very different than looking into the future at other times.

Unfortunately, I don't what it is you face now that causes you to be concerned about your future.
