I feel like I'm losing everything and I'm powerless to stop it.

You are not powerless... we all can heal.

Im so sorry you are feeling this way. I have struggled with anxiety for over 20 years and know the destruction it can cause. But I have learned that it didn’t all have to happen. The anxiety itself can fool us to think we can’t stop what is happening because that is part of its nature. The fear and feeling of dread is a thing in its own self. I found that recognizing this, after years of counseling, doctors, and hospitalizations a light finally went off. We have more control that we could even imagine over our own lives and the outcomes. I’m not sure if this was helpful but I hope that it was and more than anything, I hope you start to find ways to heal, understand that nasty nature of anxiety that fools us to better recognize and identify and to see things more clearly as they are with less fear and apprehension. Sending love and hope for a life full of joy. One step at a time..💙
