Hi, I understand the pandemic is making you feel anxious. To help overcome corona fear you can work on keeping your mind as occupied as possible with activities you enjoy such as music, reading, and so on. To feel better you can consult a psychologist and counselling sessions will help you. A psychologist will help and guide you with relaxation and stress management techniques to help you feel calm.
I understand these are uncertain times. It is also essential to not worry too much. Take care of your health by eating healthy and drinking sufficient amount of water. You can even do exercise for half an hour it will help reduce stress. Also ensure to sleep well at night.

Thoughts can not be controlled. You are having anxiety problem. It is interfering in your daily routine so you seek help of professional like psychiatrist and clinical psychologist. They will help you to overcome this problem. Merely saying be calm and cool, do not worry, distract from those thoughts won't work. Clinical psychologist will guide you how to not worry and be calm and cool.
