Hi all

Tl:dr below.
"Suffering" since 3 years from anxiety which has become worse. Been a hypochondriac and over worryer all my life but the anxiety symptoms started during the final year of my higher education. When I went working I was so dissapointed in the grown up world and had absolutly no satisfaction from my job so I decided to switch jobs, which on the first sight seemed a good switch but in the end wasn't. As they profited from my good character, having difficulty saying NO.
Went back to studying and now in a busy week with tests which over the last weeks slighty increased anxiety to the point where the panic attacks started again. I meditate every evening. However, corona is the extra bit which is continously pushed in our face, together with a continuous shitload of bad news. As a result I really have difficulties calming down as my mind is racing and I started worrying about everything. Mentally exhausted. Going on a trip with friends this weekend, but extremely overworried about what can go wrong. I dont want to cancel since it might finally be something to look forward to rather than a worrying subject.

Tl:dr anxiety increased over the last few weeks. Please share your tips on how to cope with extreme stress and share positivity.
