Forget the what ifs. Can't worry about them until they happen. Then deal with them. They just mirror common anxiety.

To the OP, do you want to tell us a little more of what is bothering you?

Yes but telling someone just to "forget the what ifs" is not reframing. It's just telling them to turn it off when they have no coping skills to do so.

I feel much better when I turn off the "What Ifs". Cranking on them makes me feel much worse. Taking risks is an important part of life, and I have taken many. Start with small risks and work up from there. The joy of accomplishment is unbeatable.
