Hi Lauren, I can relate.
When I notice similar thoughts and emotions, I remind myself that things are impermanent and this moment is all I have. I also tend to catastrophize; I remind myself of the lesson of this parable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_old_man_lost_his_horse. Finally, I take some action towards solving the problem. For example, you could start researching where else you might want to live and planning to emigrate elsewhere.

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
