There is a counting method that helps me with anxiety. I have to breathe in a certain way and count. It's kinda hard to explain how to do this but it does take my mind away from what's making me anxious. Maybe you can research breathing, counting and anxiety?

Well the specific issues are different but I woke up this morning feeling in my own way pretty much like you. (And this is after having quite a few days in a row that were ok.) I feel overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, and hurt from wounds that are not that old. Wish I had a magic solution for us both, but perhaps we can each find some measure of comfort in knnowing we are not alone. I'll pray for both of us.

sounds slightly more OCD than general anxiety. Write it down. Write a decent 2000 word essay on the topic. Explore it fully. Get a rational coherent expository essay out of yourself and down on paper.

This could take you days. But you know what? Once you have fully explored it, and fully investigated its pros and cons, it's out of you. It's a thing you've done.

you want it done. You want it to have been a thing you did, and investigated, and thought about, and came to a clear, rational, comprehensive conclusion about.

And then you'll find you're bored with it.

And that's how you make them go away.
