Today I saw one of my colegues very stressed and very depressed because she is very worried about the future, if she can get a job or not. I am also worried about this but I think if I will be healthy enough to work it will be possible to find a job and survive:).How about you. Are you getting worried when you start thinking about future?

Thinking about the future definitely worries me at times but of course, I don't usually let it get me down or depressed. I think we should all be optimistic when it comes to thinking about the future instead of thinking about the negative things that might happen like not getting a job. We should always think that we can do it because that's when things usually turns out better for us. Worrying doesn't really help and will just give you lots of stress and wrinkles. Just think about doing the best in everything you do so the future will look brighter for you.

when we go thinking about the future, it will be much better if we will plan for it rather than worry about it. map out a plan on how to find a job rather than worry about if a job is there made available for us. this is the reason why it is called job hunting because, we will have to go out there and find the right job for us. meaning, finding that job requires so much time and effort. it will never go easy.

I tend to worry about my future quite often, what will happen and where we'll go. I just think on it too much sometimes, its crazy. I've always thought that its best to let things come to you in full stride and take them as they come. I know that things can hit you unexpectedly so you need to live for today, and hope that tomorrow will come.

YOu should live your life at maximum at this age. When I was 19 I was not thinking too much about the future. somehow for me was existing olny the present and I was enjoying each moment.

worrying will not help us in any way at all. it is best to let the times roll then do something about coping with the problem at hand rather than be eaten up by worries. it will be cauisng us unnecessary stress that way. this is the reason why she is already depressed just be worrying about getting a job which she has not even worked on yet. the right attitude will be to keep on applying for jobs until you get hired for one. instead of worrying and getting disappointed if rejected, go find for another one more prospective employer...then another one more. keep on with the effort until you land in one. this is the formula that will always work.

Yes everyminute of every day. I have 3 children. I stressand worry constantly about how it will affect their future. Every little or big thing affects 3 other people besides myself. In a sense I am not only paving and making my future I am responsible for 3 other futures. It is hard.

Ok...I do not have any children yet so I don't know how it is but I can imagine that taking care and be responsible for other people can be very stressy and than you start to worry more.

Yes,I am very worried about the future for myself as well as my kids. I some times wonder if they are going to be okay when they leave the house to go to school now with very thing that you see on the news.I also wonder about myself and the changes and my health and if the doctors will find out what is wrong with me.

I'm fairly certain I could get a job should it become necessary. If my husband needs to look for a job, it's a lot harder for him. And since we rely on his income, that worries me. I hope I don't have to go to work because I enjoy taking care of our daughter, and she doesn't adjust well to being separated from me.
