We are unable to switch off and it emerges even when nothing is wrong. So if you've ever been sitting on the couch and you're sitting there and your whole life genuinely feels perfect in that moment, there is nothing scary happening around you. And yet you're sitting there almost being like something's wrong. Something's wrong. I can feel it. I know it. You feel uncertain.

You feel scared and you cannot release that feeling. That is disordered anxiety. And it basically turns us into a bunch of conspiracy theorists. We may, you know, look at a relationship that seems perfectly normal and think, oh my God, they're going to break up with me. Even though there are no signs of that. Or we think that person is so mad at me. Or I'm going to lose my job.

Some big disaster is about to happen. The worst case scenario is about to happen. Even when we have no single piece of evidence for those thoughts or scenarios. We end up spiraling. We end up feeling very panicked. There is this desire to do something, this desire to act, this sense of uneasiness.

We also start to think that this feeling, because it is so significant, it must mean something because it is so loud. It is so hard to dismiss. And the thing is, is that your anxiety is meant to be loud. Anxiety is not meant to be quiet. It

our it was basically made it was evolved so that it was hard to ignore because we needed to listen to it for it to be useful because it was meant to tell us something important but because it is so intense it feels like everything that it is telling us must be coming true and

And it will come true and we need to be prepared and we better be listening to every single tiny piece of thing it tells us, even when it's a lie. Now, here's the thing about anxiety that I was talking to a friend about this the other day. Which is that even like the saying goes that even a wrong clock is right twice a day.

So your anxiety is 99% of the time going to be wrong about a situation or a scenario you're in. And then almost by accident, sometimes it will be right. And those are the moments we need to watch out for because we begin to take it as evidence, even though they are so, so rare.

We take it as evidence that these feelings we have, which is just simply an overreactive limbic system and our brain trying to interpret the environment, we take it as a sign. And then other times our anxiety actually creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is one of the reasons we confuse it with intuition. So I'm going to use the example again of you think that a friend is mad at you.
