This.

I am a solo founder and anxiety begins to be a major problem for me (starts to result in observable real-life issues like insomnia). I've just realized that I need to find a way to deal with it, or there could be trouble ahead.

Stress and anxiety are there even if your business is doing "well" (as in, profitable and growing). There is always more work than you can handle, you are always afraid of a bigger competitor ruining things for you, and you always worry that customers will suddenly start churning one day.

I've been looking for a group of solo-entrepreneurs to exchange experiences. This article resonated with me. It's helpful to even know that others experience the same problems.

I cannot upvote this enough. I've found that exercise helps; both from being healthier but also because I'm so tired I sleep through the night instead of waking up and being unable to get back to sleep.

While running I focus on form as a way of meditation. Eventually my mind will wander onto other topics; being unable to actually put my hands onto a keyword or whiteboard helps.

Actually we are running a Whatsapp group for solo-entrepreneurs. We have video-calls from time to time and share milestones or problems.

I won't share the group link here, as it would probably overwhelm us. But if you do want to join, drop me a short email to [e-mail] introducing your startup and I'll send you the intro document.
