Sweet Nothing

This is so relate-able because this is the exact type of thing that I do. Say what you will, but it's hard for me not to expand situations in my mind a little bit more into the future to try to anticipate what will happen. M says that I stress too much, which is pretty accurate. I wasn't like this before {by that I mean my stressing out wasn't this BAD before} but now it has gotten a bit out of control. 

There's a lot on my plate right now and I'm feeling really uneasy about turning 30 next month. The fact that I'm turning 30 has consumed me and made me feel miserable. No other birthday has made me feel this way and the whole lack-of-baby thing has me feeling pretty upset for turning 30.

Things I Wanted Done Before My 30th Birthday:
-Pay off student loans- check
-Run a marathon- check
-Learn another language- check
-Start a retirement fund- check
-Start a family- unfulfilled

I have accomplished a lot! That one thing still weighs on me so much. Also, I found my first gray hairs this year, my wrinkles are becoming more prominent, I'd swear all my hair is falling out {the ones that aren't turning gray}, and work is incredibly overwhelming. Because of all of the above I found, on Pinterest of course, this:

Comparing, worrying, and blame are the ones that I have the most difficulty with. Competing is up there, though. I really need to get this under control because I have been in a funk and I have not been a fun person for M to talk to. Are there any other good ways to control the stress or the fixation that you get on things?
