Sounds familiar. :) Most recently, I lost the chance to bid on the "home of my dreams" because of this tendency to imagine the most horrible outcomes in excruciating detail -- one example among many.

I wish I had great advice that could apply to decisions when the stakes are high, but I still freeze when confronted with any large scary financial decision.

But if the stakes are lower, I sometimes find that taking some little action helps to break the deadlock. I tend to default to research mode... :)

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
