My generalized anxiety is like this- CW for hypothetical animal death
*music playing*
GAD: *pauses music*
Did you heard that crumply sound a second ago? Hard to tell over the music, but it sounded like it was coming from the kitchen.
Me: Yeah….
GAD: One if the cats must have got into the oven with that pizza you just put in. Go check.
Me: No, I’m not gonna check. None of the cats are in the oven.
GAD: But can you see them right now?
Me: …Well, not all of them.
GAD: Go check.
Me: I should go check. Actually. No, I shouldn’t listen to you. Besides, that sound was crumply, like plastic. It wasn’t the sound of a cat in the oven.
GAD: That’s true. But just check. Wouldn’t you feel better if you checked?
Me: I don’t need to check, I know. If a cat was in there, I’d smell it.
GAD: Yes, that makes sense. But go check.
Me: There isn’t a cat in there. I would’ve seen a cat in there when I put the pizza in.
GAD: But you put the oven on to heat up just before you went into the shower. You wouldn’t have heard.
