I voted the way I did because I strongly believe that the U.K. will be better out of the E.U., I want to remain a British citizen resident in Spain, but will do what's necessary to protect my position here.
There really is nothing to worry about.
Whether we worry or not and cause ourselves stress and sleepless nights will not change the out come so why waste all that valuable energy.

Because it is incumbent on us to be pro-active in support of our beliefs, not just to roll over and to accept whatever happens.
For clarity, I voted Remain, have financially supported several initiatives to pursue the Remain cause, and travelled from Spain to London for the march last weekend.
If we had another vote, and we still voted Leave (with all the information we now have), I would consider that to be an informed democratic decision. Until then, I view the decision as flawed.

Because we can still stop it.
Even though I strongly support Leave negotiations will have to be concluded and the deal put before Parliament, however, deal or no deal can the triggering of Article 50 be overturned and the U.K. remain in the E.U., surely that would need the agreement of all other E.U. members and another referendum.

What is the point of voting if it gets over turned?
If the remainders got the remain vote would they be happy for it to be over turned.
I very much doubt it.

We can withdraw our A50 request today if we want to.
The EU has already said they'd agree to it.
As for any deal having to go before Parliament, that's simply not true.
If May can't get a deal which the EU agrees to, we crash out of the EU at midnight on March 29th 2019.
No vote in The Commons needed.
No deal is the default leaving position and it's the point I've been trying to make.

No you can't stop it as it would cause uproar.
If you got your vote you wanted would you want it over turned..... No! UK should be out as they have rolled over too long and it is about time they got the Great back in Britain.
Over turning votes. Crazy. So it gets over turned then do we then go through more voting to over turn that vote, and again and again.
We all had our chance to vote as in elections and the majority voted out.
End of.

That is the same as saying you never change your mind when new information becomes available.
Are you telling everyone on this forum that you have never changed your mind ?

The irony of someone who currently benefits from the 4 Freedoms as you do writing tripe like that would be funny if it weren't so sad.
You should be ashamed of yourself, quite frankly.
