You've got a couple options, both of which involve seeing someone to help.

First, consider a psychiatrist for some anxiety medication. Mine put me on gabapentin, which is mild, but yours may recommend something different. That takes the edge off. It does help.

Second, find a cognitive behavioral therapist in your area! If you don't know where to start, try psychologytoday.com -- they have listings. Look for someone who does CBT specifically.

CBT really helps with your type of anxiety, because it helps you re-train your brain. It does take time, but using CBT, you can unwind these thoughts and stop them before they start.

If you're not familiar with the world of psychiatry and therapy, please note that a psychiatrist and a CBT therapist are 2 different people. Psychiatrists prescribe medication. Therapists help you work through your anxiety. Both are incredibly useful, and I recommend you utilize both.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. However, I have studied this extensively, and run a private FB group for entrepreneurs with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, so I have some incentive to "get it right", so to speak.

Seconding both of these. However, I might suggest re-ordering and give therapy a shot before you go down the psychiatrist/prescription route.

I was going to say something similar. From the description it sounds like generalized anxiety. Talking with a therapist can help you figure out what you might be subconsciously worrying about.

This is the exact path I took, completely changed my life! It's not an easy or fast process but it's worthwhile and can yield significant results.
