Then What?

Conversation with my GP:

Me: "I'm scared of having a panic attack"

GP: "What's the worst that can happen?"

Me: "I could pass out"

GP: "Then what?"

Me: "I end up in hospital"

GP: "Then what?"

Me: "They figure out I just fainted"

GP: "Then what?"

Me: "I go home......"

This was some of the best advice I got about anxiety. Some times it doesn't work, but most of the time it helps calm me down. What's the worst that could happen about what you're anxious about? Then what?
