Stupid things to get anxious about

I have anxiety and tend to get anxious over absolutely tiny, ridiculous things.

For example, put a quick wash on this morning as I’m going away for a couple of days with my partner and our 3-year-old son. Decided to sit down and watch the washing machine do its work (only put it on a 15 minute wash). Proceeded to feel anxious that the water wouldn’t make all the clothes wet and therefore I’d have to put it on a longer wash. Started debating with myself about whether I should change the washing programme at the last minute so I would no longer feel anxious.

All of this just because I wanted to watch the washing machine wash our clothes.

What small things have you felt anxious about? (Obviously it doesn’t feel small at the time!)

Update: everything is fine and perfectly washed but I’m still anxious about what could’ve been Confused
