This was absolutely fascinating for me -- I have a few friends who suffer from varying degrees of anxiety but they've never been able to explain it in a way that I could understand what is going on in their mind, but this episode (this transcript) really makes that all comprehensible for me in a way no one ever has before. Thank you for baring your souls about this! It makes me realize just how... I dunno, maybe "fatalistic" I am about everything in the world? I don't worry about much and I'm always a bit... disappointed is really too strong a word... when things just go smoothly -- because things going wrong always make for the best stories to tell afterward.
