So we've had a lot of bad and traumatic news being delivered to our family on Sunday/Mondays (I don't know why) for like 4 months straight.
So I've developed severe anxiety starting Sunday morning, expecting something bad to ruin the week.

I don't know how to stop this - especially when - like clockwork - something bad or negative happens. Even if it's not major news, for example. we had bad news that will affect us for the next month/year last Sunday.
So I knew this upcoming week would be bad (thus anxiety for two weeks ongoing, thanks). But then again someone else showed up on our property tonight (like clockwork) also triggering me.

I feel like my weeks have started off on a bad foot for months, and it ruins the rest of the week. Maybe I should start saying that the week starts on Wednesday instead.

Does anyone have tips on controlling that 'expected anxiety' triggers?
And then dealing with ongoing anxiety while knowing it won't be resolved for days on end?

I'm entirely new to having severe anxiety and haven't developed any methods to cope with it, with my therapist.

Thanks in advance
