Happens to me too.....I just bought a car, and it took weeks before I could actually go to the dealership to do it. I knew it was going to be awful, humiliating, frustrating and time consuming. I knew it. I was literally in tears before leaving to go.

And of course, it didn't go that way. It was no where near as awful as I thought it would be. Still, I was exhausted when it was finished, and when I got home, rather than being elated I finally had transportation I could depend on, I just sat down on the sofa and bawled...because I knew something would go wrong, eventually. It always does. So then I have more stuff to worry about.

I think the thing that makes me the most 'crazy' is that I try so hard to think of every contingency, everything that could go wrong so I'm prepared in some way...maybe can't fix it, but at least be emotionally ready for it. And usually it's something that never occurs to me that happens, so not only am I melting down because of situational frustration, but I'm furious with myself because I didn't see it coming.

There is no way for me to win, with me.
