I had the same issue until I went to therapy. I would suggest trying that out. They can help you think differently (in my case I grew up in a very dysfunctional family, look up adult children of alcoholics, we're often workaholics), and in some cases you might want to consider trying a medication for anxiety like Zoloft.

It may seem weird, but I didn't realize just how much it affected me until I got on medication myself. Now I feel free. I can still do great work and focus, but I'm not compelled to. I'm happy to focus on myself as well.
