I just try my best not to give into any compulsion and just tell myself, “if it happens, it happens, and if it does, I’ll deal with it when it comes.” Then I move back on to what I was doing in the present moment. It also helps just to tell yourself, “I don’t need to know the answer to this.” It’s still kind of hard since I really don’t want those things to happen, but I think it’s been helping me build a tolerance to it.

I have the same like thoughts every day! To assure myself it'll be okay if something doesn't go as planned! But then I feel less obligated to smile about any of it...whatever is about to happen. I feel more unable to change a thing in my day, I just let it all go past me and I shrug and think, "it's okay. I'm okay. That's okay." And I cry. "If we go to the appointment then cool, if not.. that's okay. I've waited a long time, but it's okay if we have to reschedule." "If they win in this game, that's okay. I'll be fine. I cheer them on, and it'll all go okay. If I win. Idk what I'll say. Except that maybe I should've not played." Idk. Thanks for maybe knowing these feelings and understanding me. 😢💛🌼
