Your anxiety is freeloading: it’s scared of stuff you can’t control
Most anxiety is just your brain speed-running imaginary outcomes and calling it “preparing.” If you can’t predict it, you can’t control it—so stop bargaining with the unknown. Instead, point your energy at what’s actionable today: the next decision, the next message, the next task. That’s not avoidance; that’s you using your time like an adult.
