I commend you for reaching out and at least not bottling it up.
The first real step to controlling/dealing with anxiety is the acknowledgement that it's there. Most people just bury bury bury til they can't.
So you really are further along in moving past it since you are at that acknowledgement point.
My advice based on what you wrote is
- find a physical outlet, whether it's walking or yoga (especially good with back issues!), something that's low key and you do daily. Build from there. NO hitt workouts or heavy exhausting workout!!!
-write out a new 3,6,12 month set of goals and from there critique how long it might really take to achieve them. If you have to go a lot slower than you think, be okay with that. Progress is progress.
-find a community of people to be around and social with. Like complete strangers doing some kind of hobby or similar interest.
-mentioned previously by another…find a spiritual component to your life. That will take a tremendous amount of pressure off you.
-keep talking and be open minded!
- GTF off social media if you're on it
-avoid the news. Important news will find you
-Learn/practice CBT
God Bless man! Hang in there.
