It's stinkin' thinking at it's finest. I do it all the time. And when I feel that rush of anxiety... I sit and say the Serenity Prayer. Over and over again until my heart stops racing. And once I am calm, I then say, "I am right where I need to be. I am OKAY. I am safe. What is the next right thing I need to do?" And then I go do it.
My mind is my own worst enemy. My ability to process my feelings is so freakin' screwed up. I awfulize the hell out of every little bump in the road. And that's sad, because when I spend so much time spinning out - I miss out on so many wonderful moments of happiness.
WTBH - you are OKAY. You are making great progess. Trust the process - and know that more WILL be revealed.
