Worrying sometimes can cause more damage than the initial problem we were worrying about. So if you don't have a natural solution, don't go do something stupid because you just might make things worse.

When someone has a problem, the natural thing to do is think of ways to solve them, look for solutions and make certain moves in the direction that we feel would bring positive results.

And all of that is good, there's nothing wrong with looking for solutions to your problem, but sometimes, I've come to realize that while looking for those solutions, we end up making more mistakes, mistakes that are so bad that if we had stayed and did nothing in the first place, we probably would have had better results than now that we had gone to do something about it. 

To better explain my point, I will tell you guys a story about a friend of mine who currently owe some loan apps and is struggling to pay back. You see, after spending all of his money on gambling, he found himself in a predicament where he didn't have any money for food.

So he began to panic and eventually went to one of these loan apps to loan some money. Being someone who's dumb, he decided to go back to the gambling site to recover his money and also hopefully have enough to pay back the loan people. Well, he ended up spending all of that money there too and by the time we all were saying goodnight and going to bed, he had no money on him.

Early the next morning, his dad had sent him some money without him requesting for it, something he wasn't expecting. Thankfully this time, he used the money right but then the damage had already been done and he was now in a far worse position than he was in earlier when he just started to get worried.

So basically, if he hadn't done something stupid (go borrow money and try to win it back), the problem he thought he had would have solved itself the next morning when his dad sent him that money.

Look, I'm not saying that you shouldn't worry when you have a problem, I'm saying that you shouldn't let that worry push you into doing something stupid. And also sometimes (depending on how serious the problem is), some of these things solve themselves with time.
