In my case its that I just get stuck into repetative negative thought loops. My default assumption always seems to be that the worst case scenario is going to happen even though it never happens. I’m just really good at convincing myself that nothing is worth trying as I’m probably going to fail anyways.
Thanks!

Catastrophising can actually help!
What’s the worst that can happen? What can I do to mitigate it?
If there’s nothing one can do then it’s genuinely anxiety inducing… so your anxiety is appropriate.
If there is something that can mitigate it, do it, and know that you’ve done it!
