Today I’ve been having terrible anxiety. I have a few cats and they like to stay upstairs so every now and then they jump from a dresser and make a noise. Whenever I’m downstairs and I hear something bump I got into a small state of panic and all these people bought a run through my mind thinking it’s not cats and someone is upstairs (family has been out most of the day) and just panic. I’m trying to remind myself stuff like doors are locked and cats make noise but it just doesn’t help me at all. I went to a therapist once upon a time but due to COVID i haven’t been able to go very much so that won’t help me.  My sibling always leaves my closet door open and forget they went in there then I panic that someone is up there (my closet is connected to the attic so there’s the closet door then the attic door) and when I ask and no one says they did I panic and just sort of shutdown for a second. I just need some advice on how to stop worrying about small things like that. Thank you.
