The last few nights I've been awake worrying about a self seeded Ash Tree, well not the actual tree, but how to get rid of it, that is dig it up. It is growing between our fence and a neighbour's to the side of us.
Its on our land, as when we had the fence put up, we had it sited inside our boundary, so difficult to get to the tree from our side, as it is a solid wooden fence, they have a wrought iron one.
At the moment the tree is about 3m high, but growing fast, it could grow to 50m plus, so must come out.
Then I realised we could pay some one to do it, Prise some panels off the fence, and cut the tree down. We have a regular hedge cutter firm so not a problem.. If the fence panels get broken, we'll just have to have them replaced.. Problem solved, now I can sleep!!

I totally understand where you are coming from regarding worrying, this is me too! I think the worry is down to the uncertainty and unresolved decisions. Your tree is a conundrum and I hope you find a solution that works for you. My husband on the other hand would simply remove it without all the worry and then say to me it's gone so you don't have to worry now. Have a lovely week and I hope you manage to get some sleep.
The face we present to the public is not always a true reflection of ourselves, so I understand what you mean.
My husband is a worrier too. About anything and everything. I have learned to relax myself. He always works things out.
I guess when we're thinking serious thoughts we probably do look different than when we're having a more pleasant moment. Hope you get the tree solved because I'm sure that's a mess to have it growing in the fence.
Why not reframe 'worrying about the ash tree and insomnia ' as 'cleverly using a quiet time without distractions to think through and solve the puzzle of the ash tree'?
It's a inconvenient that you found this quiet moment in the middle of the night! Did you know that back before the Victorians it was normal to go to bed, wake and be active for a couple of hours, including going for a walk or visiting friends, and then going back to bed for your second sleep? Samuel Pepys' diaries refer to this; also try Wikipedia. This changed my views on wakeful nights; I was just being normal and batural!
My husband is also a worrier and says he comes up with many solutions when he's supposed to be sleeping! Glad you have a plan!
