Default anxiety making things worse

I started obsessing over it and playing the scenario over and over which only made it worse. And while I felt pretty good most of the day one slight change seemed to make me start wondering and brought on worse symptoms. Is this something that anxiety can cause and simple confidence can restore? Thanks for any responses.
yes - you have reached your threshold so no more stress can be processed by the brain, even small amounts of stress are intolerable than before. unfortunately insurance carriers and family friends dont get the connection so they think you are just not handling stress well and that is your only problem - what they dont realize is your ability to handle normal stressors is far less than before so you get more stressed quicker, its a vicious cycle
