Please help me 😥

Hi guys , I would really appreciate any words to try and calm me out of this one.
I am getting my self into a state about things that are so stupid nearly every day now and it is exhausting me.
Today while driving home along a narrow street with parked cars on both sides I remember looking at one car and thinking be careful your very close BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, got through fine and got home. About 2 hours later I have wound myself up so much by thinking maybe I did hit the other car and just didn't feel or hear anything and even had to drive back down there to sit and look at the car for a moment just to make sure there was no damage , and of course there wasn't because I hadn't touched it 😂
I know this sounds so ridiculously stupid but I have now convinced myself I am going to be getting a call from car insurance which is insane because I didn't do anything 😭😭😭
I really don't know how to get out of feeling like this 😭

I am aware that the post probably makes no sense what so ever �� sorry

I get the same, for example a few weeks ago a traffic light turned amber as I was approaching it, I was too close to the junction to stop safely so drove through, but there was a police car at theside of the road. I was convinced I would get a ticket over it and guess what no ticket.

I get the same about errors at work, if someone else makes one I rationalise it if I do it then it is the end of the world.

No idea how we stop these feelings but at least we know we aren't alone

That's good to know I'm not the only one , it's awful and I know I won't sleep tonight now , I hate being like this ��

Yes it is awful, I hate feeling like this. I even thought the other week that I had got into the wrong car and was driving someone elses car, it's mad I know but how our anxiety brains work

I have done that before aswell, because the car smelled different , feel like im losing my mind sometimes ��
