Apparently, a new study suggests that most anxiety sufferers are so because they think too much about the past and the future.

I can relate to this and you probably can too?

So... start thinking about the "NOW" folks - it might help you.

I can definitely relate! My thoughts usually go in the future...been working on staying in the present moment.

Then fix it dear lyzer, dear lyzer, dear lyzer! FIX IT!

You been putting cutlery & your pet cat in it again!?

Washing machines are actually quite basic. All parts are usually easily replaceable - even the motor.
The digital ones can be a pain though, thats why its always best to go for the simple mechanical ones with just a dial & a GO button.

I can relate as well. I'm always focusing on the past. I wish there was a machine which could erase selected memories.

I totally agree, this is my problem too. Anxiety makes it a challenge to live in the moment in many ways.
