Pay attention to your thoughts that accompany whatever makes you think possible damage can occur. If your thoughts go directly to a worst case outcome, I'll never get over this bump, the need to bolt from the situation, racing thoughts etc you can chalk that up to anxiety. Anxiety is a very tricky foe but once identified can be slowed down with accurate assessments/identifiable facts from past similar incidents. Deal in fact.
