Worries

Worries about disasters which, as later events proved, never happened.
        About 40% of my anxieties.

Worries about decisions I had made in the past,
decisions about which I could now of course do nothing.
        About 30% of my anxieties.

Worries about possible sickness and a possible nervous breakdown,
neither of which materialized.
        About 12% of my worries.

Worries about my children and my friends, worries arising from the fact
I forgot these people have an ordinary amount of common sense.
        About 10% of my worries.

Worries that have a real foundation.
        Possibly 8% of the total.
