Feeling too many decisions and too little control over them

So like most people I am stuck with my life due to covid and little to distract me. I have a lot playing on my mind and nothing to distract me from it. Life atm is

  1. Wanting a buy a house but several things stopping me
  • my husband is on probation at work (new job not in trouble)
  • I have a flat I rent out and would need to be sold first (I had a flat when i met my husband and he also had a flat so rented it out on a short term but now have to sell it and have to give three months notice and can't force them out)
  • We have no idea whether to look in Sept when probation is over or wait another six months etc
  • do we go for something more expensive and stretch ourselves or 200k below our budget? Weirdly there is nothing in between in the area we want to live

All of this is made more difficult due to the less first world issue of my husband's infertility. He's a cancer survivor and we are now a year into treatment and we should know by October if the treatment had worked and if we can conceive naturally, use IVF or go for adoption. I also have a coil and need to decide when to remove it as it may take several months til my cycle returns.

It's all playing on my mind and there is nothing i can do until october and it is driving me mad. I know my issues are very first worldy esp atm as people are dying and others have lost jobs etc. how do i keep myself from going mad with a million thoughts in my head?
