I think I might have forgotten to turn off the stove |
The house will burn down and I will be at fault. I couldn't live with myself if that happened. |
Fear 95% |
All or nothing thinking, making predictions without evidence |
I can't be sure I left the stove on or not but I can take the risk. I don't need to be certain. If something bad happens like the house burning down I will have to struggle but I can live with it. People can survive their house burning down even if it is their fault. I will go ahead and go to work not go back and check. |
Fear 75% at first but later it drops to 20% |
