Get out a pen and paper and write 10,000, "I will not assume the worst." When I first wrote it, I was kidding. But then the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. You have to make a decision that you will not let your mind run wild. And you may have to make it daily until it sticks.
Try Imp's suggestion and then report back as to which you like better {or hate more } . His writing lines suggestion or my rubber band snapping suggestion.
It really is all about distracting yourself and training yourself to focus on anything but what you are obsessing over.

Thanks Guys....I forgot about the rubber band thingy!
Writing may work too!! I just hate that my mind runs wild with assuming the worse!
So, how are you guys this evening??

And swl is being a pain in the neck by not answering me quickly enough tonight.
That is a bogus charge there, my friend. Plus..if I had a dollar for every time I had to wait for your response....Well, I'd have a few dollars.
Got anything fun planned for tomorrow, Kissak? Other than finishing the lines, of course. ~ swl
