You have mixed feelings about your worries. On one hand, your worries are bothering you - you can't sleep, and you can't get these pessimistic thoughts out of your head. But there is a way that these worries make sense to you. For example, you think:
- Maybe I'll find a solution.- I don't want to overlook anything.
- If I keep thinking a little longer, maybe I'll figure it out.- I don't want to be surprised.- I want to be responsible.You have a hard time giving up on your worries because, in a sense, your worries have been working for you.Source: The Worry Cure: Seven Steps to Stop Worry from Stopping You
