Re: Unleash your anxieties here!

[kaijinscendre]

I am always anxious about money. ALWAYS. I got over $3000 in my savings/checkings. I got all my bills and such in order. But I am ALWAYS afraid to spend money. And for some reason, I panic whenever by checkings account goes below a certain threshold (that is probably more than all my siblings have saved combined).

Possibly D::::::::

If I have less than a certain amount in my account I panic for a second. And then I remember that no, it's okay, it's just the rent and car insurance and all the bills you just paid, you're fine.

But still, that initial ten seconds is like FUCK FUCK FUCK WHERE DID IT GO HAVE I BEEN ROBBED?!

I feel you :/ I'm normally pretty relaxed about these things, but when something happens that threatens my financial safety (e.g. our family recently lost a major source of income), I just get all panicky. Like, "O Fortuna" starts playing in my head and I start mentally preparing to die in the gutter.

I found that thinking about what actually could happen in such a case helps. Like, there are always charities and government subsidies and stuff. Although it probably also has something to do with a high level of welfare in the UK.

You can also try accepting the fact that you can only do so much to avoid going broke, and it's unreasonable to fret and overtax yourself because of the fact that you can't do more than your best.

I don't even mind spending money on other people. It is spending money on myself that drives me up a wall.

Hi there let me join you in perpetual money worry land - even tho I've still got savings!

Re: Unleash your anxieties here!

Heh, I had that. Perversely, the Homeless Year made that anxiety lessen--probably because I realized that no, the money would have to go to feeding me.

Now that I'm more stable, the anxiety is back (I call it the Smaug instinct--gather all your fucking money and just SIT ON IT FOREVER), but at least I realize it's totally irrational.

That said, I actually KISSED my security deposit check from my last place today. I've had so many overdraft fees this month, it's hellish and embarrassing. (AND I HAD THE MONEY!)
