I feel I am constantly overthinking about the future and getting anxiety and stress. I feel I imagine the worst case scenarios and fall into a spiral. I am trying journaling and meditation but I am not able to do it for longer than a week or two. Does someone have any experience in reducing these feelings and having a calmer mind?

Visiting a psychiatrist always helps, even if you don't plan on taking medication for anxiety!
