Catastrophizing is a survival approach, but it is not the only approach. Survival is not mandatory, but a necessary part of our evolution. You should not question the want to survive, but rather the method of survival. Catastrophizing can be a useful near term reaction to a problem, but we use more positive forms of survival such as preparedness and confidence that our past abilities will be able to meet the demands of future challenges. This is a much more positive approach and will result in a better mental outlook as you will have some sense of control in a chaotic world.
