I'm having anxiety over my upcoming surgery and cancer. I'm trying to focus on the future things instead of current things. There are some streaming series that are coming out later on that I really want to see. Also I'm trying to learn some new skills and teach myself some new things. I overthink everything. If I concentrate on a new skill then my brain and anxiety is focused on that. When I was younger I observed that older men tended to whittle, woodwork and do things with their hands. I now know why. It's distracting and gives them something to focus on. Do you have a craft or hobby? that could distract your brain and divert your anxiety? It might be worth a shot to help your anxiety.
