Every morning, before I even opened my eyes, my mind would start racing.

What if I forget something important?

What if something happens to my kids?

What if today is the day everything falls apart?

My heart would pound. My stomach would tighten.

And my brain would start spinning life events, magnifying every slight worry into a full-blown catastrophe.

It was in my body.
