It's been hours. Since grandpa called, i can't calm down. It snowballed. I got triggered by him mentioning dad's wife and kid. And of saying they have covid. And what if sis has it. And we're visiting granma on tuesday and i'm scared of infecting her and me. And how mom never listens and how she's gonna drag sis sick. She idd before. And ppl telling me she shouldn't do it. I can't stop her. What if she is crazy ro drinking again. She's not replying. I got anxious and delieted htem. But hse is not even replying. And sis isn't neither. What if she is depressed or a sth 4 not replying? Is mom drunk for not replying? I'm panicing for hours. I m just trying to tell myself it's just anxiety, they're probably tired of the painting the walls at home idk. And ppl find it hard to understand.

I need any help with this panic

It sounds to me as though you are worrying over things you can't control and what might be going on with others. Is this correct? I totally get worrying about others and what they might be doing/thinking. I do the same thing. It is evergy-sucking and something I'm learning is a waste of my time and energy. The only person we can control is ourselves. I'm not doing myself any favors by worrying about others, and neither are you. SO much easier said than done I know, but please try not to worry.

Have you tried tapping? It's helped me immensely with times of anxiety. You can learn how to do it easily and then it's always there for you for free. Here's the link to the site I use. Some of the meditations cost $, but I just do the free ones. I hope it helps. thetappingsolution.com/
