WorryGirl,

I call it PMS (Poor Me Syndrome) and I "suffer" from it day to day, moment to moment (and I'm in premenopause/menopause - lol!).

I think it's because I base my self-image on what others think of me, or worse, how I PERCEIVE what others think of me.

All this was at an all time high during my first divorce, wondering/worrying what people thought of me. One day, during one of my most paranoid moments, it occurred to me how I handled "gossip" or news of such events when I heard it in passing: I think about it for a few moments (unless it's happening to someone close to me), then I move on within minutes (in part, because I'm a self-centered human being).

That thought helps "in theory" but I still get wrapped up in it without any warning.

If it helps, I know how you feel and I think everyone else does, too.

Here's to a worry free Monday (and week).
