What's The Worst That Could Happen? Well...
I don’t want to speak for everyone who suffers with anxiety, but ever since 2020 I’ve been really struggling with worst case scenario thinking. And wow my friends, it’s terrible. In fact, the other day Mel grabbed me by the shoulders, and said “it’s like your are living through tragedies that haven’t happened. They may not happen. You need to stop!”
And I know, those of you without anxiety are like, “what’s worse case scenario thinking.” Well… I’m glad you asked. According to my therapist it’s when you run into a situation at work, or with your family, or financially, or whatever, and you immediately imagine how terrible it could be, and suddenly you have a pit in your gut, and cold sweats, and you want to throw up.
