This is the key. I was also like OP’s post, super anxious and worried about everything.
Then I realized (with the help of therapy) that my worrying might be justified, yet it doesn’t benefit me at all. As you say, the things beyond my control will happen anyway, so why stress about them. And the things I control I can achieve with less mental effort, if I stop the constant worrying and overthinking.
Exactly. For me in my early 20’s it was a handful of moments of having extreme stress about a possibly bad outcome, Sometimes for weeks only for said scenario (while possible) to never come to pass.
