What are the possible ill effects or worrying too much about something?

Hmm.. In my case, I tend to be more irritable when I worry. Sometimes I also fall to the point where I don't remember why I am worried in the first place at all. It also have physical effects on me. I tend to lose weight when I worry too much. But Im trying my best to avoid those, and thank God I am able to do it somehow.

Thanks and good day. Nice topic.=)

Worrying just make things worse. I can't think straight and it seems that I often made some mistakes every time I worry too much. I think it is better to be concern than to worry about things. Worrying sometimes cause stress, which is not good. But you know, in this life we are likely to be uneasy and we tend to worry a lot..it's like our nature I guess. But there are some who worry too much, that i don't find valid anymore....the're just making the situation complicated.

Happy mylotting manong!

Worrying too much can cause stress related anxiety. I know someone who went to the doctor and was diagnosed with this. Medications will help but mostly the person can only help him or herself.
Too much worrying will give someone ulcers and gain or lose weight which in effect will give you eating disorders.
Taking steps one day at a time if having too much problems. Probems can't be solve overnight. And always think positively that things will realy fall into place after.

It is damaging our health. And sending stress signal to our brain. It makes us restless and feel ill. But we can not avoid worrying sometimes. So prayer is the only solution for me.

I think that if you worry, then it's your personal problem and it should be kept to yourself and not be inflicted upon others.
My grandmother worries and worries, and that's all she ever seems to do nowadays. It's a worry.
People worry about her worrying about them and it's like a frikin' cancer. How could somebody so old have learnt so little? It's not an inspiration for old age, it would make me feel like topping myself if I ever get to be that old and be like that.
It also makes me feel like breaking contact with her to an extent. Don't be a worrier or nobody will want you around!

I think this is the best advise I can give you. I learned it from reading a good people management book.

A problem is something that has a solution. If something does not have a solution and you only end up continuously worrying about it then maybe it is a "fact" of life.

It is rather vague at first but I think it simply says that a problem is something that you can fix or will get fixed eventually by someone on your behalf or by itself. If it goes beyond that then maybe you just have to make the better of the situation on stop seeing it as a problem because it may just really be a fact of life.

as the lion king puts it, "hakuna matata" - It's a worry free philosophy;)

Feel free to rate me ok:)

Well, we all know that worrying is not good for health. It can lead to a lot of problems. As you may know that worrying causes stress and when you are stress you are not in the condition to think well. So it would not be good to worry to much. Of course we cannot take out the possibility of thinking about a problem. But what is important is to deal the problem in the best manner possible.

Yes worrying too much is not good and healthy. It will bring lots of negative in your system. Based on my experience i suffered from the following had difficulty in breathing, i could not sleep/had insomia, no appettite in eating and i did lose weight. A former boss once told me to worry about the things that are worth worrying about -- because you can still do something about it. You just have to reflect on and assess how far you can do something about it. Those that are beyond your control leave it.

Stress and worry release hormones and chemicals into our system that damage it over time. It can lead to heart disease, sleepless nights, depression, anxiety, and bodily aches and pains...not to mention it destroys ones well being and sense of inner peace.

Some of the things known to combat stress and its harmful effects: exercise, meditation and other relaxation techniques, talking it over with someone, listening to relaxing music, getting outside and enjoying nature, writing our worries down in a journal, and when needed, seeking some professional help.

For me, the best way to eliminate worry is to take action to correct whatever is bothering me. Another technique I've used is the "20 minutes of worry a day" method. You set aside exactly 20 minutes at some point each day, and you do nothing but worry...if something other than worry creeps into your mind, push it away and get back to worrying.


When trying this, it makes one more aware of how fruitless it is to worry, or it becomes silly and boring or makes us laugh. The key is to worry ONLY during those 20 minutes. The rest of the day, you must shove worry away.

It's good, too, to realize what you have control over, and what things are totally outside of your control. Act on the things you can change, and quietly accept those things that are out of your control.

Yes worries are dreadful. It can cause insomnia and even madness or lose of one's sanity if you're thinking too much.

Worrying has many drastic effects. I do not know what exactly is going on in the inside of the brain or of the body. But I can tell it's definitely toxic. It can kill you.
