Just remember how all those thoughts have no ability to change anything, certainly not living in the future as the anxiety will try to have you fixate on. Sometimes taking in a bigger picture can help make the immediate task at hand seem smaller and more manageable. Try to see how you have no rush and how in hindsight this can be a happy time. I know it can be daunting, but just break it down to your own timetable. Hang in there, you can do this.

Future worries are my meanest sets of intrusive thought loops. Since I don't **get** to know the future, those thought loops can go anywhere they take a notion to go. I can spin more worrisome future scenarios than can possibly manifest in a single lifetime. All those potential horrors can, indeed, paralyze a soul.

Gentle empathy, Magic. You are not alone in the phenom. Writing out my worries helps me calm the worry loops, allot. Hope it helped you, too.

Yes correct this loops are nasty and mean as I stated yesterday all This paranoia started to manifest strong couple weeks ago after I had car accident in March I guess I’ve always had theee thoughts but didn’t think of it now they’re really intrusive and stopped me they paralyze me as I said also I will try to look at it’s as a happy time for me and my daughter to watch her grow as she learns to drive instead of what if and what if I can’t thanks to all for advice as far as writing it down how do I start do I write how the over thinking is making me feel if so what then after I write it down ?

Write it out. Separate the sentences and write about each sentence.

In doing this, you'll see the pattern of thought and be able to add the positive for what you want.

A car accident is multiple details all combined under a single factor 'car'.

However, 'driving', is it's own complete factor.

Just between these two words, there are many feelings that I have. Without the added second word.

This process will give you a chance to explore the positive experiences to add to the full picture in helping to heal the balance to a better level.

Best wishes.

Keep writing it out.

In my own therapeutic writing, I start with writing out my anxieties. Once I have those into manageable consistency, I can often let them go and/or set them aside for long enough to do what needs to be done and enjoy what is worthy of enjoying.

A teenager getting a driver's license is a great example of settling such conflict. There is, in fact, much to worry about, but it is also a joyful milestone in a family's life. Honest and open venting and sorting of the worries helps me address the hard parts far enough that I can appreciate the milestone.

OK thank you so much sounds awesome I will work on writing my anxieties out tonight when I get home from work once again thanks all for the help you all are wonderful beautiful people thank you

Ok Here’s the worries I wrote down just for the particular event I’m going through today with the DMV Where we number one if I can’t get the money to buy a new car for her or pay insurance what then I freeze up and get confused Worry number two now I have to lend her a car that I need for work and if she uses it during the night with a car come back in one piece will I have to pay for damage was something bad happened Worry number three what if I go into financial burden because I overwhelmed myself and one beyond my limits so these are just the worries for this situation now that I wrote them down I’m still stuck ahh and worrying again

Please forgive my typos I use text to speech and it never says it right

I'm sorry you are feeling anxiety with these things. A lot of times anxiety is caused by lack of magnesium. Many have found that taking magnesium (magnesium malate is best) and ginseng helped a lot w both anxiety and depression, they calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts the loop around in the mind and stop your mind from resting or sleeping. Also, getting outside, laying on the grass to get grounded and breathe in fresh air, looking at stars, these things help a lot too. Our environment help or hurt our mental health and physical health. Speak aloud positive truths to counteract the negative thoughts and things said to us. Also, Volunteering helps us get our of our own misery to help others, which helps us. Call those negatives a lie and correct them to yourself. Protect yourself from those who put that added stress on you. <3

KimmyO Awesome I’ll look into that magnesium and ginseng nice thank you
