I've been going through some difficult life stuff, between moving alone, starting grad school, big relationship changes, and family related issues, and thankfully things are starting to calm down now.  Unfortunately its left me with this low level of nervousness I sort of just carry around with me.  I've had a GAD diagnosis since I was about 20 (23 now) and symptoms from even earlier on, but this past year kind of just brought me to a point of this... steady hum of something feeling "wrong" all the time.  It is making it extremely difficult for me to focus and be productive.  I have plans for my day, but my mind feels foggy, wanders, thinks about what ifs all the time.  The classics like "what if my partner hates me?" "What if I have to work so much I never have time again?" "What if I'm not working enough?" "Why haven't I made friends here yet - what if its because I'm bad?".  The list goes on and on and on.  I know its not really those things that are the issue - I just have this residual base level of agitation and I'll just hop from one thing to the other. (This feeling gets WAY worse after I drink caffeine too - but I feel so tired all the time sometimes I drink coffee anyway in the hopes it will help - and end up more tired and anxious. Officially cutting it out for good starting today... ).  Anyway, then I look down, and I've gotten absolutely nothing done all day, because I'm either thinking about all these things or trying to find ways to quiet the feeling of agitation to no avail.  I talk with a therapist and its somewhat helpful.   But the feeling remains.

Does anyone have a way that helps them stay focused and keep going on with their work and their day through the gross feeling of "something is wrong"? Because it isn't just a one time thing, I'm feeling it nearly constantly, and I'll probably feel way less stress and a bit better about myself if I just get things done and feel like I'm being productive.
