Whenever I try to sleep, my most severe anxiety kicks in. It happens pretty much every night. I already know that tonight I’m going to stress about something at work tomorrow. Even when I’m meant to be “relaxing”, I just can’t. I feel like I live in a constant state of fear of the “What Ifs” and the people around me have definitely noticed over the years and it clearly stresses them out that I am always worried about something since they care about me.

It has gotten to the point where I don’t even know if the things I stress about are real problems or if I’m just not seeing a situation clearly, and that honestly makes the anxiety worse. I don’t know how to stop caring. I look at people who care so little about things I obsess over and truly envy them. I don’t understand why I care so much. I wasn’t always like this but it has made me miserable. 

Any advice would be really appreciated.
