Hi there,
I'm sorry you are going through this; worry and rumination like you are experiencing can be very hard. Here are a few suggestions that I have that may help:
- Practice mindfulness - the Calm App and Headspace have great meditations and mindful breathing etc - start with just a minute or two and build up. Beyond Blue also has some great guided visualisations that you can access for free.
- As a thought comes into your mind, sit with it. Imagine it is floating by on a cloud and say to yourself, "I am having a thought that xyz" and watch it float away. This creates separation from the thought. (Researching cognitive fusion/defusion may be a help)
- Above all, I highly recommend speaking with your GP and getting a referral to see a therapist. Psychologists have so many great tools to manage anxiety; it really is worth it.
I hope this can be of some help to you. Take care 🙂
