Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s this nameless background fear about losing my job or my income that I never look at directly, so it just hums under everything
• The worrying never clocks out
• Before I can even start facing my fears head-on, I have to stop them ambushing me at every hour
• A worry pops up in the middle of something I’m trying to do and I feel like I have to deal with it right this second or I’ll lose it forever
• The same worry keeps circling back through my mind on a loop, popping up again and again, and I think part of why it won’t quit is that I’ve never actually decided what I’d do if the thing I fear came true
