Answer 1

Sweet you don't give your age, which is relevant, but clearly your being paranoid and it could consume your sanity if you continue.

One suggetion to help you get focus, calmness and tranquility is meditation. Give it a go and good luck

Answer 2

you sound like you like a very sad and lonely exsistance.

you defentilly have a problem with anxiety which means you worry unreasonably about things people would normally have no fears about.

i think that this fear of everything may go deeper then events like september the 11th you should visit both a counceller to help you find out what really makes you so anxious and a self confidence and self esteem therapist who will help you get back you life on track.

hope this helps please let me know how you get on.

you know where to find me on yahoo.

Look the definition up in the

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

A dictionary of psychological complaints...

Answer 4

It's not weird, but you sound paranoid. I don't know if you're a Christian, but being a Christian brings peace within you. If you put it all in God's hands, then you wont need to have so much fear. If you're living your life the way He wants you to, you'll know that you'll go to Heaven if some freak accident happens. To me, that doesn't sound too bad.

Answer 5
