Dear Kshiti:

You are welcome, and no need to worry about when you reply: no such thing as a late reply here, as far as I am concerned!

“Sometimes, especially during that period, it all felt insignificant (compared to) the circumstances that were sort of out of my hand. What to do about this thought?“- the daily practice of emotion regulation skills (you can research this term, there are books and workbooks on the topic) will help lessen your daily anxiety, and make it possible for you to focus on the small but significant steps you need to take toward healing.

There is no such thing as one giant- step solution to “Intrusive and Anxious Thoughts” (the title of your thread). It takes many small steps day in and day out, steps taken patiently, over the long-run, one day at a time.
