when does it stop

[Ilovecats1739]

how do you turn your brain off from constantly going to worse case scenarios? I am on medication and started therapy but damn .. my mind has me dead and homeless and alone and I am none of those things .. trying breathing exercises but can’t even get out of bed most days .. feel so lost …

For me, I have to remind myself that my anxieties are biologically necessary but are being misdirected and misplaced. It's necessary to keep me out of dangerous situations but I might be misidentifying what is dangerous because I have no serious immediate danger to direct it towards at that moment. That helps me sometimes.
