Wow too many problems, too much thinking, too much worrying and not enough actions.

There is a book called "How to stop worry and start living". You should really have a good read of this. I went through a very stresful period, I read the book as just another holiday reading, but ended up spending the 2 weeks as a reading holiday. The books really changed my life and thinking. A lot of it are common sense, but it is amazing how lack of common sense we are when we are going a bad period.

The books advises you to list your problems into what you can and can't change. For those you can't change, work out what is the worst possoble outcome that could happen to you and just learn to accept it. For those you can change, list out the possible actions that you can do to change it. Then stop worry about the problem but just go about implementing your actions with no anxiety and worry.
