Recommend a Guided meditation or mindful breathing practice for stress relief

Hey guys, Waa going through some severe anxiety issues which always leads me into negative thinking spiral and some past issues. Could you guys recommend me a therapist which you feel has been extremely helpful for you? I would prefer only online mode for sessions.

Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance. I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety. Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a mental health therapist for as long as I can.

Feeling worried all the time I am 28 year old, unmarried and staying at Bangalore working at Cognizant Problems in my life 1. I am fighting with my own parents because I love a guy from different religion. He is my school mate and very good person. We both are at IT firm. He earns 38LPA and I earn 16LPA. Financially we are good and we both have very good understanding of each other. 2. I have health issues like pcod , thyroid, gas trouble and digestion issues. Constantly taking tablets and feeling exhausted all the time. 3. I have very toxic work culture at office. My manager literally forces us to work like hell. She doesn't concern about our health issues and treats like robots. I am always thinking about work and getting anxiety issues. Currently I feel like taking break from everything and focus on myself but money is also important because i want to financially independent. My brain is constantly worried thinking about future like work, health and money. Nothing really helps me and I feel worried all the time.

Please tell me if there is any survival kit to survive the layoff. I am a Product Manager and have been laid off yesterday. Since then I have been panicking and feeling anxiety all the time. I am trying to be calm and handle this with all my patience but I am failing into this. I feel lost, confused, and shattered. Even breathing feels like a task right now. I can sense my heart rate going fast. Is it normal to feel this way?

What are method do you use to reduce the stress after stressful day?

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand. Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it. But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry. If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.
