Hello Spookedoutsum
Welcome to the forum. I hope we can help you bring some order into your life. I think most of us can relate to everything happening at once with little time to get ahead. When this is added to your anxiety I can imagine how difficult it is for you.
Do you mind if I give you some steps which may be helpful?
First of all, what areas of your life do you have no control over? I suggest the break up with your BF comes into this category. I am sure it's hurting you but there is nothing you can do so if possible, can you put it to one side, at least for the time being. Also your relationships with your friends. They are probably stressed as well and it's very tempting to snap at everything. Put this aside with the BF.
Secondly, what must you do in the immediate now? Preparing for your interview is one thing. Try to not go further and worry about how you will manage if you get the job. That can come after you get the job and does not help your anxiety in the now.
A major 'must do' I suspect is your assessments. These are of primary importance. Can you sit down and decide which needs to be completed first, second, third etc.
If there are other tasks in the background can you decide if you have control or not and act accordingly. I realise I make it sound easy and when you are anxious there is the thought that you cannot make any headway. I know it's not easy. If it was, you would have already organised yourself. Please take time to sit down and decide how you are going to categorize all these tasks and in what order you will do them. It may seem a waste of time but I believe it will save you time in the long run and certainly help your anxiety.
You said "I have so many things to worry about, but there's too many things to focus on at one time in order for me to get better, everything is just so overwhelming." You know you cannot do everything at once so please start with that thought. Even if all these tasks was a life or death matter (which they are not) you can still only do one thing at a time. Choose the order to complete each task remembering you cannot change anything you do not control, such as the BF.
Then start working on project one.
I really hope this helps you. Good luck with your interview.
Mary
