I haven’t posted in a while but need some help. My anxiety is getting very high, and it’s hard for me to control it. I just have a feeling like something awful is going to happen. Things are so great in my life right now (kids are great, healthy, etc). I feel like it’s “too good” so I’m just waiting for something horrible to happen. And I catch myself doing things to sabotage my own happiness (“I won’t eat that ice cream for dessert, I won’t go xyz bc that would make me too happy”) bc I feel like I can’t be so happy or bad things will happen. I’m terrified something is going to happen to one of my kids (school shooting, accident, terrible disease) or someone else in my family.
Does anyone have any experience or advice? It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
