I do this all the time. For example, I have to get a background check for work, and I'm thinking to myself what if something mistakenly shows up? I've never been arrested, much less charged with anything, but mistakes happen all the time. And when I had to get my drug test I was freaking out that it would show positive for marijuana because I was around it (but didn't smoke). Of course everything worked out fine (well still waiting on the background check) but the anxiety is there.
I combat it by trying to redirect my thoughts and using positive self talk. I hope you get answers soon!
