I have a real thing about health issues, specifically cancer, and I am having a "Miss Worst Case Scenario" moment right now. I should say in advance this happens everytime I or someone in my family has some kind of health thing potentially related to cancer. Today, our DD has an MD appointment to have a suspicious mole checked out and I am a little on the panicked side of the street. I do it to myself because I'm one of those moronic people that goes to online health sites and reads and reads and reads about potential diagnoses then, I immediately jump into the Miss Worst Case Scenario mode. Its not a good thing, to paraphrase Martha Stewart. What I'm working on is remembering how I do this everytime and it is always a waste of time and energy, and trying to think about intellectually and positively. AAAGGHH! I really, really hate this and I am making it my #1 goal to rewire my brain to get away from this kind of thinking.
