I know the title is shitty but I simply cannot sum up how I feel in such a small amount of words. Let me give you an analogy, and this is just an example, but it describes how I feel.

Imagine somebody is pointing a gun to your head. Nobody else can see this person, but to you the threat is very real. You shove him away, he is unphased and continues pointing the gun to your head. Everywhere you go, work, shop, etc he follows you, with the gun firmly placed against your head. He never goes away. So now, you have to live your life, go to work, do shopping whilst repressing the fact that there is a man pointing a gun at your head 24 hours a day and you always have the feeling in the back of your head that, at any moment he could shoot you in the head and kill you.

I have various thoughts about everything that could go wrong, but it doesn't just give me a spike of anxiety, it lingers in my head and ruins any interest I could ever hope for. All I can think about is when I can stop doing said activity so the feeling will stop. My oven will explode, my car will break down in the middle of a highway, my video game will crash, etc etc etc. It has truly destroyed me and made me miserable. I am in the process of seeking help from mental health professionals so maybe this post wont matter in a while. Is there anyway I can cope in the meantime? Or prevent it from worsening if possible. Thank you.
