I catastrophize daily and it is affecting my life and health, does anyone else here catastophize and if so what do you do to stop?

@determinedShip1191 I have trouble with this as well. Sometimes I am able to talk myself out of it with logic (one approach is cbt, or cognitive behavioral therapy), and sometimes it helps me to talk it over with someone else, or a listener on this site. Distracting myself with tv or a book can help too.

If it gets really bad, I have to take my anxiety med, but I try to do that only when I really have to.
