    I have serious anxiety about getting up, leaving the house, and other ‘now’ things.

      Is the anxiety about the act of getting up and leaving the house, or what’s going to happen when you get up and leave the house?

      I have anxiety about getting a package left on my porch, but it’s still a future thing, as the package is on the porch and I haven’t opened the door to get it yet. It’s the “what if” that’s generating my anxiety, and that’s a future thing, even if that future might be 30 seconds from now.
