Dear Lindsey:

Possibly a movie, definitely a pedicure is a good enough plan for tomorrow.

Magnifying the negatives is the name of one of the thought distortions I was taught in CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a common thing the brain does, magnifying something negative and then getting overwhelmed by how big it is. When it really is not big.

Your anxiety started before your marriage, when your mother expelled you out of her life. You were not prepared for it. Then came your marriage.
