I wonder if I am going to feel normal or relaxed without constant worry. I am going to therapy and on meda but I just don't feel right. I have another apot tomorrow with the therapist and I am nervous that I am not getting anywhere its only been 3 appts and i know I have to be patient but it feels like forever. I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning with anxious feeling and don't have to be up till 630 so I am in bed ruminating catastrophic worry about my relationship and my life in general and I force myself out of bed to go to work and at work I am constantly on go in my head ovwrthinking constantly like a record. I just want some quiet in my head and it's like I'm fighting all the time.

Try still writing it out maybe. It's not necessarily what you write but the act, the grounding effect writing can create.

Don't overthink "self care." . If you're up and ruminating, self care would be redirecting or finding something else to do. Keep it simple.

Sorry you’re going through this tough stretch. I struggle with a similar constant drumbeat of anxiety. Lately it’s manifested itself as a feeling of dread that just won’t abate. I’ve tried various relaxation techniques without much success, am thinking of trying to connect with a therapist again. Hope you can find some relief, I know the feeling of waking up an hour early worrying about the day ahead.
