Worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry! I am sooooo fed up with it. In fact I should change this post to bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. It is very tedious to read about it, so apologies for that, but beieve me it's worse living it. Any ideas? Long sleeved cream linen shirt that ties at the back?

Or all three?
Been there, done that.
Write all the things you are worrying about down.
Rearrange the list into the three categories.
For the "probably will happen"s - think of ways you can cope with them
For the "only might happen"s - write a date next to them when you allow yourself to start worrying about them, if they are still relevant.
For the "teeny chance" ones - score them out.
It's rather theraputic, and you then don't have to worry that you have forgotten to worry about something, because it's on your list.
If you use a different colored pen, you can then see how may things you worried about never actually happened.
In my experience, that happens quite a lot.
Im not suprised in a way-with the year you have had
this may be a normal reaction to what has happened
it does usually get beter too
I have a friend who has been treated for her food-related troubles on the NHS, she wasn't particulalry bad, just she's not Britsh and was able to whinge loudly to her gp about it (I'm not British either just in case you're wondering) -
the death of a parent can trigger a lot of stuff, I hope you can sort it out.
I really wish you all the best and that you can come out from this sad patch.
I think the strategy Hoose has talked about - giving the negative things space, really helps because it almost normalises something and makes it more manageable. When in fact it isn't really like that, it is simply the human ability to adapt to situations taking over and making you probem solve. Have a bit of faith in you and your abilities and it will work out.
3. Don't even think about medical solutions to anxiety. 4. You will be OK.
