Anxiety gang, are you here with me?!
One question that people with anxiety get a lot is, “Well, what are you so nervous about?” It’s a question that doesn’t have a logical answer, and if there’s any proof of that, it’s the fact that you often get MORE anxious after something good happens, not less.
