My brain is good at thinking of things to be anxious about.

"Holy shit what if this happens??"

"I don't think that's likely..."

"Right but what if, better fire up the anxiety just in case"

It feels like an addiction. Just yesterday I once again caught myself going out of my way to find things to be anxious about while I'm already exhausted from being too anxious.

Me being anxious doing the thing I do everyday but this time in a different setting or a few more ppl in room. Like body, keep it together. Please we do this daily.

Yeah I feel this. I have been driving for 25 years. Started having panic attacks on the freeway lately. Nothing I havent done. No car accidents. My brain just wants to panic for no reason. I may have to start taking the bus and rail... which wouldnt be a bad thing I guess.
