    Maybe see a therapist? I remember someone on EC said they were having the same problem and their therapist helped them out.

    Also, research things like dealing with anxiety online for tips on how to manage it on your own. I'm sure there are lots of resources.

    I can only repeat what I've told you in the past about all of this. You told us recently about the mental health diagnosis and I'm assuming you have professional support in place now. If not, I would strongly advise you to speak to your GP in the first instance and see about getting a referral for talking therapy + psychiatric help for the complex problems.

    I'm not being dismissive, but I really think there is more to all of this than what you are describing here on EC (Empty Closets). Professional help and support would allow you to explore things in more depth and find a way forward with the circling thoughts.
