My mental health has been fine until around December last year and I have never been able to not look into the past and fear for my future career and scared about anything coming up from my past. I have a constant worry I have done something bad in my past and I am only 24 years of age. It’s got so bad I am no longer motivated to do anything. I’ve stopped the gym , I’m drinking a lot more than normal, I’ve turned to vaping about two bars a day and it’s really effecting me. I have a constant worry scrolling through thousands of articles on the news scared Incase one day I’ll be on there for made up scenarios in my head. I have not done anything, however my mind it saying otherwise. Has anyone had this catastrophic thinking ? And has it ever stopped ? Have you done anything to help with it ?

    Catastrophic thinking, is very common with severe, anxiety and stress. And it is an absolute waste of time! It is only scenarios created in your head that are not based on fact. You are causing yourself misery for nothing. Sounds like you need some support with this and I would highly advise you speak with a counselor who can help you manage it. You don’t need to go downhill there’s a lot of help out there.

    You are too young to throw your life away. Take care of yourself.
