Nervous? I’m Not Nervous! You’re Nervous!

Daily writing prompt
What makes you nervous?

Everything! A better question is what doesn’t make me nervous. Though, I can’t think of a single thing that doesn’t make me nervous. Even books make me nervous because you never know when a book is going to break your heart or set off an existential crisis.

I am currently in therapy and have been for about a year now. I am nervous and worry about everything. When my mom coughs I worry. When my dog coughs I worry. When my dog refuses to go potty, I worry. Like, I need everyone to just do what they are supposed to do and be okay and not be sick. I don’t even know why I worry so much. It is exhausting. I even worry about getting too much sleep or too little sleep.

How do people live without worrying about anything? Or not worrying about EVERYTHING?

What was the question again? Did I answer it?
