I guess most people have some aspects of what you have said from time to time, its part and parcel of being human. Problems can arise when people feel they are not able to cope..

This is in fact a well proven method of diagnosing An anxiety disorder and it is common with people with financial difficulty (CBT).

Self management can include not taking one self too seriously and laughing at others that do. lol..

It can laughing is a good coping strategy, and is used by others that deny they have this sort of anxiety in there daily lives.

Its a shame when Things can not be sorted out in time cause the worst thing anxiety can do is cause a life ending event "suicide".
