Worried about world events?

is it normal to worry about events you have no control over. and i mean really worry, like feel physically sick.

the credit crunch and possible world resession terrifys me with the possible consiquences, and if i am awake at night i cant stop worrying about it.

my hubby thinks it's daft to panic when i have no control of the outcome. does anyone else feel this way? could it be linked to my previous depression?
