Although I remember starting with the big worries early in life, namely nuclear annihilation and the sun consuming the earth, destroying all life, at about 6 years of age.

Granted, I did move onto the heat death of the universe and existential hopelessness in high school.

In hindsight, I probably could have used some coping skills.
