Put an ad in your local free paper offering yourself up for cleaning and washing windows.

You will have more work than you can shake a stick at. Offer a low hourly rate, and take all work. Work your butt off.

Build a clientele. You're anxious because you have no job. Get work and use that anxiety to fuel you with basically NOS. Let that anxiety push you forwards instead of inactivate you and lock you into stasis.

I've done teh cleaning thing. It's easier than you realise. Everyone wants someone who will do a good job. Do a damn fine job, work your butt off, kiss the soil. Physical labour is very good for healing and if you've not done it before, you definitely should. It's a new space to be in. :)

I agree with bridgie, it will put you in movement, which is the best natural way to reduce anxiety physical symptoms.

Stay hydrated.

Go for it! You do the best you can with what you have!

It really sounds like you need to get busy with something.

If you can even volunteer somewhere it might help. Having that regular schedule and something to do can be a real God-send.

For me, I need to always be problem solving. If I have work or a project, I'm in good shape. If I don't, I tend to worry myself to bits.

I would suggest you find a project - any project - or volunteer job - or other job and put your energy into that.

If that doesn't fit, you can just find a hobby to be passionate about - learn a new language, paint, pottery, flower arranging, cooking, yoga, meditation, running.

And when you find yourself worrying, switch over to trying to find a solution or problem solve or innovate around your new interest.

If you really need to talk with someone, there are free anxiety phone lines you can call. Or, of course we're all here! : )

Something has triggered your anxiety and its probably being laid off. Its a big life change and life change is what triggers anxiety most of the time. And then on top of the life change, I am going to guess that you are staying home more and spending more time by yourself, not staying busy , with not much to do to but think about your thoughts?
Thats not the best thing to do if you have anxiety, if that is what is going on with you.
Don't worry about the worry cycles. That is just the excess adrenaline causing that. You are hyper-aware due to all that adrenaline and you are constantly scanning your own thoughts and subconsciously looking for something to be wrong with them. And you keep finding it, and you will continue to keep finding it because that is what happens when you have anxiety. In an anxious cycle, you will continue to look for something to be wrong until you find something to be wrong. The only way to stop it is to desensitize yourself and stop the adrenaline flow.

I would keep yourself distracted with calming TV shows or puzzle or music or whatever. I think staying busy is a good idea, but I am not sure that now would be the best time to start a new job. Just my opinion, but your brain hasn't even processed or healed from the last life change...I certainly wouldn't throw another one on top of that right now. I would wait a few weeks at least for all this to settle in, and then start looking for something new.

Don't analyze the worry you are going through. Just let it go, and say "ITs just my anxiety", and don't give it a second thought. Its just a bunch of junk floating around your head. The toxic by-product of anxiety. IT will slowly seep its way out of your head as you desensitize and heal up from this big change in your life. Hope your days get better soon.

Thank you so much everyone. I really appreciate you taking the time to reach out :)
