Reframe Money Anxiety as a Signal Worth Listening To

Money makes you anxious even when the numbers say you are fine. This prompt treats the feeling as information: the difference between anxiety pointing at a real gap and anxiety that lingers despite clear evidence of safety, and the specific scenario it is trying to protect you from. For when the worry will not switch off no matter what the balance says.

<context>
You feel a persistent, low-level anxiety about money even when your situation is objectively stable. You want to understand what is underneath it rather than just managing the feeling.
