Anxiety worries that never come true
| what the sigma
| I have a tendency to inflate how bad things will be and quite literally worry myself sick, but it’s usually nowhere near that. It double sucks because I’m probably losing years of my life with all this anxiety.
I remember reading a paper that said like 90% of worries that people with GAD have don’t come true. I try to remind myself of this whenever I start anxietymaxxing, but it’s still hard to pull myself out of it.
| hmm so I have some friends with that same exact behavior set, I too remind them those worries dont come true. its not a bad thing really. Just the other person (for example your mom) should be aware of. So when confronted with such a situation the other side should Directly ask what they have in mind or viceversa.
| kinda unrelated but recent experience I had with my mom:
lets say someone is worried about your death by car brakes not working in bad weather. So they ask of you to not drive in bad weather. So whatever I answer will not suffice since I cannot know why they are saying such a sentence. it becomes a long talk just defusing the other part. After finding their worries its all piece of cake.
For my research, can you tell me about yourself?
| Ohhh that’s really good you can make them feel not worried. I guess I thought I couldn’t.
That’s really tough OP. I don’t usually have specific worries but a general feeling of unease and shame and needing to escape and I am doing my best to say no to it and focus my mind on better things. My environment changed for the better too which helped.

| I worry that niggers wont vanish by themselves
| People with GAD usually have some underlying trauma that is the source. For example, if you had a parent experience a life-threatening illness or near-death experience as a child you were told about by phone, then it is likely that you will develop anxiety whenever that parent or the person who told you calls you by phone

| My mom texted me to call her and that it was important. I wasn’t able to call her for an hour as I was in the middle of working, but it sucked that whole time. I was so anxious that someone died or that I was gonna get screamed at or something. I was so anxious that I literally felt like vomiting.
When I did finally call her though, she just asked me if I remembered something that happened recently. It was actually important, but not in the “I am gonna kill you right now” sense.
