I worry a lot, how do I control this (serious answers only please)?

I don't know if this is already a serious case but I get worried easily - not on small things, serious things about life - but when I worry, I get really really sad and down..how can I control this?

Just like anything else, keeping your thoughts away from worrying takes work.

Start by trying to realize that you are worrying. Then just tell yourself that there is nothing you can do about whatever you are worrying about that very moment...so why think about it.

Once you get better at being able to shift your thoughts away from worrying you will be on your way to worrying less.
