When my mother was drowning next to me on christmas eve, i was a five on a scale from zero to five. I don't think i could have been more anxious, more like heartrighte racing a drenel ind coursing. When it's no longer appropriate er on the shore, the e m ts are there,. et cetera. The normal thing to actually go down from five to what was like, a four point five, and then eventually, you know, to be maybe a two.
What is the relationship between “catastrophizing” and anxiety? How did Angela react when her mother came close to drowning? And how can you gain perspective when the worst-case scenario is all you can visualize?
