I think catastrophizing is a pretty common thing for people with anxiety, but sometimes I like to entertain the idea and think about what would happen next. For example, if I have a bad day at work I’ll think “oh no, I’m gonna get fired”, then it will careen downhill and I’m thinking “I won’t be able to pay my bills, I’ll lose my car or have to move, my credit will be destroyed”. Which, don’t get me wrong, would be terrible. But then what?  Well, I would have to find a new job, penny pinch for a while, move into a smaller place or with a friend. It would take some time to rebuild but you can and will be able to fix it. I’ve gone through hard times and I’ve had to dig myself out of some very unfortunate situations but we can do it. And when the worst case scenario actually pans out, it never ends up being as bas as it sounds in my head.
