I agree that you might need some med tweaking. Sounds to me as if you are having some classic OCD issues. It's (almost) funny. One Pdoc I told my worries to years ago told me "try not to worry about that". Now that was an epithany! but seriously, as an OCD person, I know what it's like to have such negative "drives". There are simple things you can do to divert your attention from your problems, but I think that it is a medical issue. One of the "simple" things is rubberband around the wrist. Snap it when you start to worry, then have a really nice thing you can think about (I know this sounds elementary, but it can work). Keep yourself active so that you don't have excess time to worry. Get some meds that will put you down at night (now THAT will be the hardest thing, thanks to the benzo-nazis). Klonopin 1-2mg at night would probably help, or alprazolam 1-2 mg. Again, good luck at getting those prescribed for any period of time.
