I was anxious because I was treating my thoughts as if they were reality. I was carefully pondering all of the possible scenarios that could arise from each counterproductive thought in my head. What could happen, what I fear may happen, what I will have to do if certain things happen in a particular order. All of it was exhausting garbage. Totally unnecessary. Not based on fact. Conjecture and speculation. Self-created stress that I cause for myself inside of my own head.
