    It means the inability to make decissions for yourself through worry.. Your mind and thoughts are in turmoil  and you are acting very irrationally ....
    Its also something I've had to learn to live with daily since I was almost born..:( This post was edited by Nice Jugs at December 28, 2019 5:04 PM MST

    Nein?. Yiddish is mostly Deutsche, but with a Hebrew and English mix.
