Well, I call what you've described, DancesWithWorms, generalized anxiety. For example, I know I have a major anxiety disorder. I worry about so many things it's insane. Some of the things I am anxious about will happen, some could happen, and some won't happen (most likely). For example, last May I moved into an apartment I really like. Everything, in reality, is fine. But I have this constant fear that one day the manager will tell me I have to move. I mean I really worry about such a thing happening...even though it doesn't make any sense to me or anyone else.

I so wish I had some great advice for you. The only thing that helps me is remembering to breathe (not hold my breath in or breath shallowly), medication (helps to a degree), and most of all trusting that the universe, God, whatever will take care of me...remind myself to have faith.

One more thing that helps is not allowing myself to dwell on my anxiety. I mean just STOP doing it. Because even thinking about it a little bit starts the worry-machine going. So, not allowing yourself to obsess over the fear and distraction, however you can find it.

Best to you. I know how hard this kind of thing is.
