It’s difficult for me to not get built up anticipation anxiety.
“What if ___ happens” basically.
Things like being home alone, having an appointment, going to school, meeting someone new, going out to eat, etc is impossible to not get anxious about.
I can tell myself “(blank) won’t happen” to reassure myself but it never really works or makes it go away.
Being told “don’t worry, that won’t happen”, “you’ll be fine”, “there’s nothing to worry about”, never works either.
I don’t know how to put this kind of anxiety at ease.
