The power to have worries

Anyway, I have an anxious personality. I don't think it's possible to get rid of life and worries, so I'd like you to tell me how to expand the capacity to have worries and concerns and how to deal with them.
If moles increase, you may despair if you have skin cancer, you will be terribly impatient if your family is unwell, and you will be pessimistic about the future when you see negative news...
I got married last year and started thinking about money and a new home. I got married at age 24, blessed with a kind husband, and I'm thinking about building a house... I know I'm very thankful and happy, but my life stage has changed and my worries have increased even more, and to be honest, I can't handle it.
If something were to happen to my husband, wouldn't his job be tough? Will I be able to pay loans safely amid high prices,
There's no point in thinking about that.
It seems that my worries have increased, but if I have even the slightest concern, I want to do something about it that makes me think so exaggerated, even if it's a small thing. Even if it's a trivial matter from people's point of view, I make a big fuss.
It's a site that says about Buddhism, and it says “it's good to let go of your obsession,”
I'm afraid of major illnesses, I want my husband and parents to have few painful feelings, and I want them to spend my time with a smile, and I want my husband and I to continue to live a happy life, so it's pretty difficult.
How can we better deal with current worries and future anxiety?
In the past, I was embarrassed to deal with it by bashing myself with a lot of alcohol and mental medicine, so I'm in a situation where I don't know how to deal with it healthily.
I'd like someone to lend me some help.

It's about looking at and appreciating the “present happiness” that is here and now.

Thank you very much for your consultation. A very delicate and affectionate personality will be conveyed. It is precisely because you are blessed with a kind husband and are living happy days that you are afraid of losing it. Your worries are also the opposite of your deep love for your family.

You seem to be bothered by the Buddhist phrase “let go of your obsession.” It's certainly ideal, but we humans cannot completely abandon our feelings for our loved ones and wishes for health. The Buddha is an entity that takes us as we are and saves us, who are weak, who have such obsessions and worries. Wishing “I want to continue living a happy life with my husband” is very natural and precious. Please don't blame yourself.

The important thing is not to be carried away by the “anxiety of the future” you haven't seen yet, but to look at and appreciate the “present happiness” that is here and now. Rather than being pessimistic about the future that hasn't happened, let's rejoice that we were able to spend all day with your husband smiling.

Also, since it is said that they have taken mental medication, it is extremely important not to take it alone and continue proper treatment under the guidance of the attending physician. Please refrain from using alcohol to distract your anxiety as it puts a strain on your body and mind, and on the other hand, increases your worries.

You already have the power to face your weaknesses and hope to live a better life. Please don't be impatient and walk at your own pace while slowly enjoying the happiness you have now.

I read it.
I read that you have so much anxiety and worry every day. I don't know the details about you or your surroundings, but I understand your uneasy feelings.
Being alive means that humans have anxiety and worry. Even here at Hasunoha, a lot of people are not worried or anxious, so I'm talking about it here.
Please share your uneasy feelings here too. Please know that when you're alive, anxiety and worry are inherent. And know that you're never alone.
Let's share your fears and concerns here and with many others.
I sincerely pray that your mind will gradually become easier as you share your anxiety and worries with many people, and that you will be able to live every day with compassion and help each other with peace of mind. And I will support you from the bottom of my heart.

Make time to unload luggage

If you carry heavy luggage all the time, you will get tired, but if you drop your luggage from time to time, your fatigue will recover.
You need to carry a bag when walking down the street, but you can put it down when you're in a car.
The heart is the same.
The time spent spinning around delusional thoughts about the past, the future, and oneself and others can be a heavy burden for the mind.
Therefore, in everyday life, it is better to reduce the number and duration of delusional distractions.
For example, injections are painful. This is a fact.
However, it is good if you have pain after being stabbed with the needle of the injection, and there is no need to be scared 3 minutes before the injection, and if you were frightened 3 days before the injection, it can be said that the delusional distractions are excessive.
Before being injected, “injections are painful” is a delusional misconception about the future, so it is good to drop such luggage until the moment you are injected.
in every situation in life,
“Delusional distractions about the past, the future, and yourself and others are unnecessary baggage. Let's take a break by putting down our luggage without having to carry it with us the whole time.”
Let's be aware of that.

I'm sure that's because the number of important things has increased.

I really sympathize with your question. That's because so am I.
I'm sure that's because the number of important things has increased.

I got married, and my husband and family grew. A safe lifestyle and lifestyle. The health of our loved ones, including myself. I don't want to lose them. In other words, “I want to take care of it.”

However, you've noticed it too. Remember, these aren't things you can get your hands on forever. So, if... someday... when I think about it, I get anxious and scared.

Me too. that's why. I take great care of the things and people that are right in front of me. I'm trying to take good care of it. While anticipating the future, I will also prepare what can be done. It also increases knowledge. Things that serve as support (connections and support) will also expand.
Also, even if one day they let go, they will properly convey their feelings and wishes to their loved ones so that they don't have any regrets.

That's how people supported each other and connected their lives to the next generation.
How many people's wishes did it receive and be born before it reached you?

You are alone, don't be anxious, and share it with your husband.
Let's check with each other, share our wisdom, and live our lives while supporting each other.
Both we and the Buddha are close by.

As we broaden our horizons, share our thoughts, and accumulate peace of mind, our ability to overcome and persevere will also increase our capacity.
