This it way too real. It's the reason I sometimes only get about 2 hours of sleep at night, because my brain is in overdrive, overthinking everything and making up fake scenarios that could've been or might happen. They never happen because it's just wishful thinking. Why am I torturing myself like that.
"There are more things … likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality." - Seneca
Read the stoic philosophers, more relevant than ever in this day and age.
