I have been experiencing constant stress and overthinking for quite some time. Almost every day, a small issue or uncertainty becomes extremely stressful in my mind. My thoughts follow a chain: I think about what could go wrong, then its consequences, and eventually reach a worst-case scenario. For example, a concern about walking a lot while travelling became: what if I cannot keep up, others may not want to adjust, I may have to travel separately, it may become expensive, and eventually I feel incapable, dumb, and unable to manage life. This happens with different situations. Even when there is a lot to be happy and grateful about, my mind focuses on small potential problems. I feel constantly under some form of stress, and my mind rarely feels at ease. Sometimes I cry and feel overwhelmed or helpless. I want to understand why this keeps happening and how to manage it better.

I had sleep disturbances from January and some day can sleep and some days nil sleep and I am fear of any brain problem or tumor but no any other symptoms only insomnia and zoldipem is not working but mirtazepine 7.5 mg and clonazepam 1 mg works but not make much urge to sleep

I have been experiencing this since childhood. I am extremely sensitive to sudden loud sounds, especially Diwali firecrackers, sudden bangs, explosions, or any unexpected loud noise. Whenever I hear such a sound unexpectedly, I get very strongly startled and irritated/uncomfortable. My body reacts immediately, sometimes even before I can process what the sound was. This happens repeatedly and seems much stronger in my case compared with other members of my family. I want to understand why I have such a strong reaction to sudden loud sounds. Could this be due to sound sensitivity, an exaggerated startle response, anxiety, or some other neurological/psychological reason? Is there any treatment or therapy that can reduce this sensitivity and the strong reaction over time? Which specialist would be most appropriate for this—ENT, neurologist, psychiatrist, or psychologist?
