Almost every time I'm about to head out on a trip I get this premonition that something terrible is going to happen. I've come to realize this is how my anxiety manifests. So now I can tell myself "if I'm truly too overwhelmed to go on a trip (or take whatever risk) right now, that's okay but don't cancel the trip on the grounds of 'what if we get hijacked?'"

I think when you're used to things going wrong and having a lot of internal chaos it's hard to trust that everything is really more or less okay. It feels a bit unsafe. But that premonition is usually just a clever disguise for ordinary anxiety. It's not fortune telling unless you let it become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
