a silly thing about anxiety

[HockeyDad2526]

One of the silly things about my anxiety is that I sometimes get nervous when good things happen because I worry that they are just setting me up for something bad. It really gets in the way of me enjoying myself and is a drain on my energy. Am I alone in this?

You are not alone, I feel this way too

I think it's sometimes called "Waiting for the other shoe to drop." There are a few ppl in my therapy group who often talk about it.

I think I have it to a mild extent.

I'm often really surprised when something good happens.
