Non stop worrying

[Taytohog]

I just seem to have a constant stream of worrying in my life. I go from one thing to another and my mind won’t let me rest and be content.
I move from money to family to health etc. Anything. And some of the things I have worried about are just plain stupid. It’s as if I need to be stressing about something all the time and it’s exhausting. I want to say I get over something then move onto the next thing but I just replace one thing with another. The previous thing becomes not so important.
I wish I could stop catastrophising and just get on with enjoying life.
Anyone the same?

Yes I've always been a worrier, which I think is actually anxiety when it's constant. I'm a lot better now, I think I've realised that when I was like that I was actually a bit depressed and anxious. Things that have really helped have been quitting alcohol altogether, more sleep (this was a natural by product of not drinking) exercise, being more choosy who I spend my time with, starting some new hobbies/ groups that I enjoy. I feel content and chilled these days, I'll still get the odd worry but none that keep me up at night or keep on reoccurring like they used to.
Are you sleeping ok? I find tiredness is a big trigger for me.

I am the same op, it’s non stop at times and bloody draining. Have you tried CBT to try and break the thought process of worry.

I so relate to this.

I can't say I worry any less these days but I have turned it into organised worrying. So I have goals for each area of my life.

One of these goals is to have more fun (yes I even had to make a list out of that) and I made a bucket list, so each month I try and pick new things off it and plan/schedule them.

The other thing is reducing stress and trying to have more down time - what nurtures and re-energises you? For me, I like snuggling up with a movie, home cooked food, an early night. This all helps me feel less like I am constantly worrying.

I also have a tendency to go from obsessive topic to obsessive topic, I've gone through quite a few. Since getting clear on my priorities/goals I've also bought that under control more.

I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD so have been working quite a lot on understanding/breaking some of my patterns.

I’m the same. Had one hell of a year and it’s been one thing after another. I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this because I feel like I’m existing rather than living, if that makes sense.
