    This is the key. I was also like OPs post, super anxious and worried about everything.

    Then I realized (with the help of therapy) that my worrying might be justified, yet it doesn’t benefit me at all. As you say, the things I beyond my control will happen anyway, so why stress abou them. And the things I control I can achieve with less mental effort, if I stop the constant worrying and overthinking.

      Exactly. For me in my early 20’s it was a handful of moments of having extreme stress about a possibly bad outcome, Sometimes for weeks only for said scenario (while possible) to never come to pass.
