So you know all those crazy, impossible scenarios that your brain comes up with because anxiety? How you know they could never possibly happen? Well today I went to a birthday party and the crazy impossible scenarios happened! Both of my friend's parents said the R word, my friend's sister had a panic attack, and I quite literally got s w e p t a w a y i n a r i v e r .

Yeah, that's going to help in future.

Hellow there!

And yes! I am very familiar with that feeling crying. Anxiety can cause us to think like that!

How do I know if they could ever possibly happen? I calm racing thoughts first and look for evidence if it could happen.

For example:

"The world is going to end!"

"Wait, but what evidence do I have to prove this? The world isn't going to end that soon. There are no warning about meteors, people are attempting to prevent global warming, zombie apocalypse? There are no virus that can spread that fast and deadly enough. I am just jumping into conlusions again. I am safe right now. There's no need to worry"
