Anxiety allover the place

It is nice to be prepared for the the worse, in case something happens.. but I hate how I always assume something bad is going to happen, something will go wrong, with and without a reason. I am not sure why I am always so pessimistic.. thinking, it is not possible that everything will go well .. I literally look for what is going to go wrong, and if I cannot find something, I make up something...

This is LITERALLY my brain, me; what could possibly go wrong, just casually wondering.. my brain: Excellent question!

Psychologically the fear of disappointment has more influence on our lives than disappointment itself. Or bad things. It's a subconscious form of protection from... the feeling of disappointment or things going wrong. The way to overcome it is to alter the way you process disappointment or other feelings. Learning to avoid catastrophising it ("my whole life..."), personalising it ("I'm useless"). Easily said, I know. But worth the journey.
