It’s always hypothetical rabbit holes 🙄
They think they’re like Doctor Strange trying to map out every conceivable future
… which somehow prepares you for EVERYTHING that doesn’t happen, and nothing that actually does.
Oh wow, thank you. For some reason this statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve got bad anxiety/worry issues and I tend to think about all the worst case scenarios. Everything feels like the end of the world to me, thanks persistent depression. But this put a lot into perspective for me. I’m going to use this statement as a tool when I feel myself spiraling with worry. Much appreciated!
I feel that overthinking due to anxiety is like running on a treadmill. You expend a ton of energy but you’ve not actually moved forward. Better to apply that energy to preventative measures or solutions. And if it is outside of your control? Well then just like the weather, you need to accept it.
