What you’re describing fits generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Notice the thought, name it as “worry,” don’t fight it. Fighting fuels it.
Slow breathing, grounding (5 things you see, 4 you touch, etc.) calms the body.
Daily routine: sleep, exercise, Qur’an recitation, dua all stabilize mood.
Write worries down, set a “worry time,” then gently redirect.
If it interferes with sleep, work, or relationships therapy (CBT works best) or consulting a psychiatrist is important.
You’re not weak, your mind is on overdrive because it cares. Therapy can teach it to rest.
Next Steps
clarify if this is GAD, health anxiety, or another anxiety spectrum issue per DSM-5. Look at onset, triggers, duration, sleep, functioning.
Psychoeducation – help you see these thoughts are symptoms, not truths. The brain misfires threat signals.
CBT- Thought record: catch the negative thought, test its evidence.
Worry exposure: set aside 15 minutes to face it instead of pushing away.
Grounding and relaxation skill
