Hi, a family problem ten days ago has plunged me into an acute anxiety that is out of all proportion to the problem itself. I have become obsessed with catastrophic outcomes from this event, and the constant fear and panic I now feel has me obsessing about other things too. Today I have convinced myself that I will never get over this and will end up losing my job and my home. I cannot believe that I have spiralled down so quickly and I do not know how to get out. I suffered from this many years ago but have coped well ever since - until now. I jus need to share with others and feel less alone right now.
