Not mine so much actually. But I am very worried for the future of our world and its oikosystems.
Absolutely. I'm a single parent of a child with additional needs and I have a chronic illness. I've had to cut down on my working hours due to my health and I wasn't earning that much to begin with. I worry about my son's future more than my own though because I want to have enough money to secure a future for him. I also worry that he won't have anyone to love him if anything happened to me.
Not mine per say, but I worry about my children's future when I am gone.
I'm a little worried that I won't be able to find a job that I like. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing something I hate.
I’m worried I’ll never be anything or get anywhere. Most people are worried they won’t be in the spotlight but I don’t WANT to be there. That’s what worries me. I need confidence to get a job - confidence I don’t have. I don’t want to die without making a name for myself but I also never want to make a name for myself. It’s tearing me apart and I don’t know what to do
Yes, for two reasons. One; my health and our healthcare system in the USA. I’ve been in and out of doctors offices for 6 months now trying to figure out this set of symptoms I am having to no avail and daily I get worse. I’ve been bounced from specialist to specialist and no definitive answer has been found. Secondly, I have a very very good career, I made it way further than I expected by my age, but I feel I’m like Icarus and might be getting too close to the sun, and my wings may melt with one wrong move. So I’m lucky in that aspect but maybe I grew too fast.
YES. I am worried that my kids or even I won’t survive bc you know, the world is practically ending.
Yup. I'm afraid I'll be at the same company, in the same position, and barely affording anything in 10 years time.
Yes, I can’t keep working and studying my whole life to survive in this tech industry.
Very much. I am in my 30s and I haven’t accomplished anything since many years ago. No savings, no house, no job at the moment. I am a child
This is probably stupid, but I'm really worried about finding the right significant other. I know it'll be hard for me to break up with someone when I start dating because I don't want to hurt anyone or be hurt, so I want to find the one for me fast.
yes,I'm a rlly sad person and my life is sad so i rlly worried about my future
I’m worried I’ll have nobody left in my life, because I feel I will always say the wrong thing… it makes me really scared to talk to people, even friends or family. Even now I feel terrible posting this, I feel selfish… if it is, I didn’t intend for it to be
I’m a new grad family nurse practitioner living in Wisconsin. I can’t find a nurse practitioner job and it’s been almost 6 months since I got my state license. Not for lack of effort, or an overall GPA below 3.9, or not passing my certification exam with a high score on my first attempt. It seems my lack of experience as a nurse practitioner is a large contributor to this. Another contributor is that where I completed my NP clinical rotations was recently bought out and is not currently hiring nurse practitioners. It’s often been told to me by many people in different medical professional roles that it’s not what you know it’s who you know. That’s has always been deeply unsettling to me, but they may have been right. I’ve known that I’ve wanted to be a nurse practitioner since I was in second grade when my teacher at the time had the class draw pictures of what they wanted to be when they grow up. I still have that picture some where. I have years of CNA and RN experience because those were the positions I held during my BSN and MSN. My experience as a nurse has been in long term care and mental health. Before COVID finding a job as a new RN was difficult. I knew these positions would not help forward my career towards work in a family medicine office, but I took what I was offered and was grateful. I did not come from a wealthy family and did not have financial support through majority of my college experience. My full time RN jobs would still often leave me choosing between electricity, gas, and food. For this reason I can’t go back to being an RN. I recently gave up on my dream when a few employer phone screens asked about the gap in my employment after MSN graduation, certification exam, and state license. For those not in healthcare after graduating from an accredited college that is recognized by your state licensing board there is a certification exam to prepare for and take, then apply for state license and wait for processing. There are 2 national certifying bodies both exams are hard, for both exams about 1 out of 5 will fail the first time they take it. I don’t want to discourage others from chasing there dream to be a nurse practitioner, but encourage them to not make my mistake. I’ve given up looking for work as a nurse practitioner or even in health care. It’s funny how life works out, but I’m hoping closing this door will open another!
Yes but also no. I have some wishes for my future - things I wanna do, places to visit, people to meet, jobs to work. I'm kinda scared of not being able to live my life the way I want to due to financial issues, relationships, pandemics or whatever.
My biggest future fear is ending up in a small - ish village with a husband and kids being a SAHM but what if I exactly that happens? I'm not sure if some of y'all understand that
Yes. I’m a thirteen year old kid and I think about the future and it’s so big, you know? How am I meant to fill all of my life in good ways? Sometimes it can be scary, thinking about life after high school.
Yes and no.
I have a lot of mental disorders (depression, anxiety, and possible schizophrenia to name a few). I'm still in school, and failing all my classes. I don't know what I'm going to do, or if I can sort my life out before I'm too f****d up. If I do manage to become even slightly mentally healthier, what the hell do I do?! I don't know how s**t works, I can't get out of bed, nevermind function like a normal human.
Nope!
I more than willing to deal with whatever life throws at me, good or bad.
Fam I'm worried about TOMORROW and i panic over it, imagine how much i worry about years and decades into the future
No, everything always has a way of getting you by. I’m not going to try to fail but if I do. I will get up again and start over. My kids have a good life currently and are financially responsible and stable. Never is anything so bad it can’t be fixed. I truly believe that. So no I’m not super worried, I don’t want anything to happen but I’m not in control with that
Yep. I used to take comfort in my belief in reincarnation but the way the world is headed, I don't think I want to come back. Even as a doggo.
Also I have a degenerative condition so the pain is only gonna get worse. I'm already on morphine for it so I have that to look forward to.
I am always worried about the future. But I do my best to just make it through the day.
