When anxiety and worry keep returning
You may keep anticipating things that have not happened, or repeatedly checking to reduce anxiety. With Maeumi, explore what triggered the worry, what you expected, and what you did, one part at a time.
Three things to reflect on
- Write one sentence about a confirmed fact, such as 'There is still no reply to the message I sent this afternoon.'
- Separate your predictions and feelings from that fact. 'They must dislike me' may not be something you actually know.
- Consider whether you can resolve anything now. If so, choose one action. If you need to wait, choose something to do meanwhile. Notice whether repeated checking is increasing.
You could say this to Maeumi
Example opening · Adapt it to your situation
“When a reply is late, I keep checking whether I did something wrong. Instead of just being told it is fine, I want to separate what I know from what I am predicting.”
You do not have to explain everything at once. Explore one situation with Maeumi and save what you want to revisit. If the AI gets it wrong, you can correct it or stop the conversation.

Seek counseling or medical care if anxiety makes you avoid daily activities or distress persists. Do not assume new, severe chest pain or difficulty breathing is anxiety; seek immediate medical help.
