For context, my life currently is kind of what I wanted as a teenager. I live with the love of my life, i have my own place, a car, a pet, work isn’t going the best but I am in the field I want to be in.
So what I can’t understand, is why I have anxiety about even the positive things in my life. Right now, I just got a 2nd cat after wanting one for so long. She’s friendly, cute, and well behaved. She’s still learning to get along with my cat, so the occasional hiss or swat here and there still happens. My cat has become a little more reserved because it’s new and he’s having a hard time settling. I know this will all work itself out with time.
Anyway, I have the more consuming anxiety about her just being at my house. She’s totally fine, but I literally have such bad anxiety to the point of almost throwing up, just because it’s a change and I always second guess if i’m doing the right thing. Since the moment we brought her home I haven’t been able to relax or feel normal. Again, she hasn’t done anything wrong. Does anyone know why this could be? If you have anxiety or know anyone who does, I would love some help rationalizing / making sense of why I feel this way.
TIA
