Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Needless Worrying: I think you answered your own question. Or the answer is obvious. A symptom of anxiety is needless worrying. So, yes. Your anxiety is leading to wasted energy spent on obsessing about things you cannot change or control.
