Determinism be like: You are safely traveling along THE ONLY WAY.
That kinda makes worrying about anything sound really dumb, doesn't it?
But you'll worry anyway, as your anxiety is a product of your biochemistry, which is governed by deterministic processes.
First of all is determinism not proven and may be/get disproven by quantum mechanics.
Second of all it also validates your suffering because it's seen as a determined thing to happen so that may give you some solice.
I recommend taking a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_Room_%28Dennett_book%29?wprov=sfla1
