If you can't stop thinking about the worst possible outcome, try imagining the opposite. A nice and comfortable situation that makes you happy. To take up space in your thoughts and orient you towards more pleasant emotions

Eh? How it will change the outcome?

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Outcomes are rarely determined by your own thoughts about the situation.

It's like being anxious about driving because you're worried someone is going to hit you. As long as you're being safe and careful, being an anxious mess isn't going to make you any safer and it can even make things worse.

Of course I'm not trying to say "just stop being anxious!" but you have to understand that only ever thinking about the worst case scenario will hinder far more progress than it will help.

It's not about changing the outcome, it's about stopping anxiety. This advice was given to me for use when feeling anxiety that is debilitating about a potential worst-case scenario which is usually unrealistic

Shitty low-quality advice tbh
