@glendafl Have you tried mindfulness exercises or deep breathing exercises? It helps clear my mind of negative thoughts and worries. And it's so relaxing after I got the hang of it. I realized too, that things I worry about are going to happen or not regardless if I worry about them, so there's no point spending my precious energy worrying about things I can't control. I know that's much easier said then done, but it takes time and practice. I wish you the best.

Hello @scs23, I see you tried to share a useful link. There is a a waiting period for being able to post links, but let me share the helpful link you were trying to post: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/mindfulness-exercises/art-20046356.

Yes. The breathing exercises is helping me. I am trying to practice every day. Remembering to breathe when I feel anxiety or about to cry has been helping me so much. I think I’m coping better now. It’s just a lot to process.
