Ive got really bad anxiety right now, I keep ruminating on things that are no big deal, or cant be solved just yet.

Sometimes I have to drive back home to check I locked the door and if my DH/DC dont reply to a text within X amount of time I assume something terrible has happened.

Aby advice? I couldn't sleep last night and today I feel like Im in the trenches

Sorry, tried to delete my comment but it won’t let me.

Have you tried controlled breathing and mindfulness or growth mindset techniques?

I do weight training. Got me off all pills and rarely get for no reason anxiety anymore. Just the normal amount.

I deal with my anxiety by walking early in the morning to ground myself. Yes, I can't deal with anxiety easily, but the grounding does help, listening to the birds and seeing the sun rise

Well you are in the trenches. You probably should go and see a GP to try and nip it in the bud before you're in the grips of full on OCD.

Badly tbh. DH is still not talking to me because I got anxious in ikea 2 weeks ago and asked him not to talk to me like that.
