Now, because I express an opinion over the extent to which a points deduction held over to next season will interrupt the plans put in place via the appointment of Cocu and the search for fresh investment, I’m an ‘old worry guts’.
All you know about me is what you know from this forum, and yet on the basis of two comments about DCFC you have decided to jump to these two conclusions along with, bizarrely imo, describing me as ‘depressed’. Really? Any evidence at all for that one?
Ultimately, I agree, worry is a largely useless and potentially self destructive emotion and there is absolutely no point in worrying about things that have already happened eg the two examples you describe...the death of a parent or the loss of a job.
Those things are complete, nothing will change them...but the build up to those two situations, the emergence of symptoms, the process of diagnosis...or the situation leading up to the consequences of redundancy are inevitably sources of worry.
It won’t achieve anything but it is, as I say, inevitable. Indeed perhaps the only thing more useless than worry itself is the notion that it somehow helps for people to condescendingly say, ‘try not to worry’, when there is clearly something significantly wrong.
