If your worrying is related to instability, treating just that should fix it. Both unstable self-image and unstable future plans and judgements of what is feasible. Some psychotherapy and/or limiting your options for, changing your idea of, simplifying your perception of, success may be necessary to get a better perspective on what is important and what is not (treating the OCD).

Diminish your options for control: exposure and response prevention. Make it into a game of sorts. If feelings of lack of control or too many "good" options make you worry.

Use your depression to find a stable perspective on the future.

Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
