@fhardaway Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. For me, recognizing that certain factors are under my control has helped a lot! It goes a long way to make a situation less overwhelming, and when I can get out of my own way to address it, that mountain doesn't seem so high. I applaud you for working on understanding what is causing anxiety in your life.

Writing down what is rattling around in my head has been beneficial for me. Sometimes all it does is leave more room for more negativity, but over time I can definitely see the spaces fill in with better thoughts! Have you tried doing any journaling? We have a discussion for that! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/journaling-the-write-stuff-for-you/
