Oh you must work for the CIA. <--- Joke. Okay, I didn't say it was a funny joke, just a joke. I remember when my dad was going to be in the Pentagon for a bit and called me and said oh hey by the way the FBI is going to be checking you out and I am like WHAT?!?

Sorry. Sometimes I enter idiot mode spontaneously.

The problem you describe is anxiety. Not sure if anything else is going on. For anxiety some non-pharmaceutical choices might be relaxation exercises This One Or This One in PDF. Having trouble finding what I'm looking for at the moment. Awhile back when I was working as a critical care nurse the hospital gave us a six session class and a workbook but heck if I know where it is now.

Music works well for me. But basically you need to identify the underlying cause of the stress if you can and work on that.

Many people find Yoga helpful. Personally I have never tried it.

What I have been doing that is working for me is studying the teachings of Buddha. It isn't a religion so much but more a way of thinking. Being Mindful helps me feel at peace. If you are interested PM me and I can suggest a book I prefer.

I wish you the best.
