This helps me with anxiety and I hope you'll try it.
Breathe. Close your eyes and take long breaths....count to five breathing in, and five breathing out. You may only be able to do it for a few minutes to start off, but it forces your mind to focus on breathing, and distracts it from the continual loop of worry so there's some space in between your thoughts.
It sounds simple and it is, but very effective.
I've been where you are and I know you're scared because of the uncertainty you face. It's ok to feel that way. Please remember to be kind to yourself...know that all of us are here rooting for you, sending light and love your way.
