Thinking everything is a sign help

[Zhiyah1012]

Why every time I go through something or think about it I start seeing things thinking they’re sings it really freaks me out a lot and it happens a lot I’m tryna accept it’s all anxiety but I feel like if I’m not worried about these cancers or passing away these things will happen I convinced myself something will happen to me ever since my anxiety started the feelings I convinced my body was shutting down and I fear that and now I’m a hypochondriac and it all made me very depressed but everything I’m concerned about I see signs about and sometimes I don’t overreact which freaks me out more and I think way to deeply into everything I need help seriously

It's a difficult time in the world right now, so you are not alone in struggling with anxiety. First, breathe. Try to do some self-care, things that help you relax. Meditation, yoga, calm music, journaling are all good things to try. Next, try not to read too much into symptoms. Take the precautions - washing hands, using sanitizer, wear mask in public, physically distance as much as possible. Then, if you do have symptoms, first rule out other things, like an allergy to high pollen counts. If symptoms last more than 3 days without improvement, it might warrant a dr visit. Try not to look for things to stress over. Maybe start a gratitude journal. Day 1-write 1 thing your grateful for, Day 2 - 2 things, etc. When you hit 5 you can just keep doing 5 (but feel free to list more). Then when you have a down day, read back through it to remind yourself it's not all that bad, and it can get good again. Prayers for peace and wisdom.
