How do I get myself out of this constant state of worry? I have not been able to focus on my career or workout. Just keep watching comedy shows and movies to try to stop my mind from worrying.

Ask yourself what you are worried about? What about it can you control? What is beyond your control? Break down each worries into things you can and cannot control

If it's COVID- related, I'd encourage you to take some intentional time away from news, or only take a small, set amount of time each day to catch up. I used to check the news obsessively on this and it was roofing my stress/anxiety levels. It's important to stay engaged but not at the absolute expense of your mental and emotional well-being. Take some time to unplug too!

Try to focus on what you can control vs what you cannot. Things are going to be alright. Humanity has seen darker days than this. We will find a way to beat this thing, we just got to hang tight for a bit.

It’s not easy but try to think positive thoughts. I’m healthy. I have food. This will pass. My personal view is that the media have overhyped the situation -not trying to minimize it in any way- which is contributing to people’s fears. As horrible as this virus is, most make it through fine if they get it. Those stats are seldom communicated.

It’s ok to be worried my friend! None of us have experienced this ever in our lives and the extreme high levels of uncertainty is unsettling. Accept that it’s ok to be worried. That’s the first step. There is nothing wrong with you. You are a human and you are feeling something different for the first time. Process it, understand it and most importantly be kind to yourself for feeling what you feel.

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.
