Anyone else overthink every decision and feel crippled?

I feel like every big (or even medium) decision I overthink and overanalyse and catastophise about so much more than I ever thought. We are moving abroad which is obviously stressful but I’ve felt paralysed at times about doing the wrong thing, missing something, making a decision that will have a massive terrible impact later on. We are renting our house out and we’ve done it all above board, ticked every box but I can’t stop thinking something will go wrong. Does anyone else do this??
I am a type A meticulous person so maybe it’s just the complete overwhelm of all the admin and decisions coming at once. I don’t suffer with anxiety and other than some PND I’ve never had mental health problems. But I feel at the moment I’m worrying for the sake of worrying. To not drip feed we left our UK house and are staying with my parents while my husband sets up abroad we join in 4 weeks.

I think it’s cos it’s a really big decision that if you get wrong could cost a lot. I did a relocation in the UK only 2hrs up the road but even that stressed me out beyond belief

thanks @Nchgal i think that’s a big part of it. So many moving parts and opportunities to drop the ball!
