I have seen many therapists, shrinks, psychologists over 30 years. I am a recovering alcoholic of 7+ years, started drinking at 12 years old. My parents put me into rehab at 14. Everyone is different. I have battled depression and anxiety since adolescence. I am not 54. I finally found a therapist that works with me, not at me. I hope you can find something that helps. I know that a lot of my anxiety is my body stuck in fight or flight mode. It became a survival skill throughout the years and now, my body reacts to situations that are not deemed dangerous or stressful. My mind tends to look into the future and I get anxious and then my body reacts again, releasing cortisol and adrenaline. I find that if I remind myself that staying in the present is all I really have and the future, I do not know, that is helpful. It takes practice and I have to really try hard to do that, but it's a start. I hope that you find some relief.
