Even though I experienced earthquakes as a child in both Washington and California, I still have unreasonable fear when I think about tornadoes. Perhaps it is because of the excessive amount of time I watched Twister. Below is a picture of the storm leaving Ann Arbor last night; the sun came out and the dark clouds passed. I try not to worry, but it always creeps into my life and clings to my mind...especially when things feel out of control like yesterday's tornado warning. Luckily, I was forced to sit in one of our windowless lecture halls with other staff, faculty, and students and could be distracted by conversations. I always have good intentions (especially with my counseling training) to deal with worry appropriately, but I end up biting my nails, crying, or being irrational. Luckily only biting my nails happened publicly yesterday and I was able to enjoy the post-storm scenery in my backyard once I was home with the pup. How do you deal with worry?
