Is it normal to worry about the future?
Yes, worrying about the future is normal. Most people feel uneasy about uncertainty sometimes, especially when something important is changing or up in the air.
The future is a big pile of things you can’t fully control, so your mind may try to prepare for every possible outcome. That can be useful in small doses—until planning turns into replaying the same worries without getting you anywhere.
Lots of people go through this, and it doesn’t mean you’re being dramatic or doing life wrong. It can help to focus on one thing you can do today, rather than trying to solve the entire future in your head. If worry is taking over your days or making it hard to sleep or function, consider talking it through with someone you trust or a mental health professional.
