At my most depressed I don't worry because I don't care about anything. That seems dangerous because I don't care about bills, returning calls from people in my professional network, how I look, where my car is parked, the future, my survival, anything.
I'm wondering therefore if worry serves a purpose. When I'm less depressed I start to worry more, like ... did I say the right thing on the phone to a prospective employer, etc.
Worry is supposed to be pathological though. I'm wondering if I should just try to stamp it out and stop all worry thoughts when they start. Maybe it just consumes too much energy to no useful purpose.
Any thoughts on this?
