Cognitive Distortion: What is "Catastrophizing"

Whatever the event is, there exaggeration goes to a level where one underestimates own capability to cope with the situation and overestimates the potential negative consequences of the event. This irrational belief gets developed when one ignores the reality and lives in the possibility of "what ifs".
