Hey everyone. So for background, I’ve struggled with anxiety for my whole life. In September, I got into law school, which is something I have worked super hard for and was very excited about. 
However, now that I’m in, I find myself obsessing over everything, thinking I’ve made a catastrophic mistake that will ruin everything. Nothing has happened-it’s been an amazing experience. For example, my one of my professors emailed the whole class reminding us not to plagiarize on our work. This sent me into a spiral thinking I had plagiarized (I didn’t, I worked very hard on my paper and am proud of it), but for some reason my brain fixates on things like this until I’m convinced I have messed up in such a way that my hard work will all be ruined. 

The most frustrating part is it’s NEVER true. Nothing bad has happened, so WHY does my brain keep searching for reasons that this will go bad?? Does anyone else experience this, and do you have any advice? It’s making me miserable-I just feel like I don’t belong in law school, and I think it’s manifesting in these stupid worries. I don’t know why I’m doubting myself or my abilities so much—I got into law school after all. Anyway-some advice, or even just understanding would be super appreciated.
