Hey pc fam. I sorry i am always bothering yall with problems but i need to make sense of some things.

Okay I have been doing okay lately with depression and anxiety. I feel more focus and everything. I am on a med. Today, is not reAlly a good day. First, I overslept for work today. I got to work and was told by a trustworthy co-worker that the people who is over me at work, is going to get on my case for being late. I told her that i text my boss lady and let her know that i was going to be late. SHe and I both know that my boss lady most likely did tell the administrator. We went on talking about it. I totally blame myself. She apologize for coming at me like that but she didn't want me to get in any trouble over being late. After the convo, I told her(co-worker) i respect her honest. I prefer to be honest and truthful than lie to me. That is when it started. My thoughts begin to go haywire. I am thinking of my car need to be fix on, gas for my car, car taxes due, being late for work, etc. I am trying my best not to panic about it. It is slowly coming over me. Scary part is that i can feel. I am trying to become overwhelm about it. I even feel like i have disappoint my parnets because i had to tell the truth that i didn't have any money to pay for my car taxes. Its like this, if anyone panic about something, I am going to panic. I try not to do that but it is sooooo hard.

My questions to yall is this: How can you rest a haywire mind? How can a person ease all the worries and calm down, so one can think straight? Yall, i feel so lost right now. Just don't understand.

Thanx in advance

I wish I had some answers for you. I just keep reminding myself that worrying does not change anything it just makes me feel worse. Try to tackle things one thing at a time.

what helps me is to not project. half the outcomes turn out not to be bad. also stay in today is another helpful tool. you're not yet in tomorrow so your worrying in advance won't change the outcome. what i do is make a list in order of priority. then each day tackle a few. soon all is taken care of and i didn't get stressed out. hope this helps you.

even i keep worrying about everything, including whats happening around the world and that has messed up things, just need to live day by day, make sure u have some financial security for the future, rest not in your hands

ButterfliPrincess11, I am sorry you are so distraught.
I'm in a similar frame of mind today - it's awful.

It's very hard to give good advice, as I find it difficult to deal with these overwhelming worries myself in an appropriate manner.
I try these days and give myself quiet time and shut off / down somehow.
Sometimes I need a really good cry and then am so tired and exhausted that I can't really worry quite as much any longer. I'm not sure whether that's great advice, it's just what I sometimes do.
You can try breathing meditation and mindfulness. I've tried it sometimes myself and have been told to keep it up.
Mainly I just try and shut off my mind in some way and need to withdraw from the world for a while.
If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know.

I hope things are getting better very soon! Take care of yourself!
