It sounds like you have Anxiety Disorder.
Ask you doctor first he might prescribe a mild anxiety medication.
I would suggest seeing a psychologist first that might help you to talk it out. They may suggest a psychiatrist who can prescribe meds for you.
Good luck, I've been there.

I am the same way. There are several at home treatments you can try. I find relaxation techniques such as yoga, breathing exercises stretching can work. Finding a happy place, a fun memory or favorite activity you can think about.
For some people music will work, playing a favorite song can alter you mindset.
If you feel as though nothing works it is always advisable to go talk to a therapist. There may be something triggering your stress that can be resolved.
Good luck.

You sound like you're suffering from some type of anxiety (which is another cycle of depression according to medicine these days). Talk to your doctor and get something to calm down
You're wasting your life away worrying...and will power certainly won't work.

I worry alot also over the stupidest things sometimes ....but it's part of my nature. I just soak in the tub, a candle lit on the counter(no lights) and listen to relaxing music. It really helps me wind down.
I think you think of worse case scenarios because it's easier for you, you think , that if the worst case doesnt happen....anything is better than that~so you try to prepare yourself for the worst in every situation.
Try to give off more Powerful vibes of how things can turn out better rather than always thinking of the worse~ It is a hard habit to change...but you can do it if you continue to focus on POSITIVE things not the negative things~
GOODLUCK*

Too much worrying is an obsessive compulsive behavior (OCD) I am curious, do you count your blinks or finger touches, wash your hands excessively, or exhibit any other OCD behaviors? OCD goes hand in hand with depression, and a number of the meds used to treat depression, help with OCD. It's time you checked in with your family physician or local mental health clinic.
Good luck!

I worry bout everything too.... but I probly do things to make myself worry.....Try not to worry, I've found that one of the best ways to avoid this is to keep ur mind occupied with something else.....

I do the same thing and it's a tough habit to break.
I try to think positive, don't let things get to me that are out of my control and do things that you find relaxing (Yoga helps me).
