Whilst worrying can sometimes almost be looked upon as a positive reaction - such as an incentive to take action or to solve an underlying problem, this is generally not the case.
If you spend your time on the ‘what if had done.....’ and worrying about the worst a situation can become, this then becomes a much bigger and debilitating problem.
Fears and doubts which you cannot shake can render you inactive, they are neither productive nor inspire (and will crush) motivation. They can leave you emotionally drained and increase anxiety levels off the scale. Getting in the way of your life from day to day, with absolutely no positive recompense. Now for the good news. Constant worrying is a habit, and it is a habit that you can learn how to break. It is possible to teach yourself and tell your mind to stay calm and in control. To take an otherwise (and previously) stressful situation and to look at it in a more positive light.

Self Help Strategies for Anxiety Relief
Why is it so hard to stop worrying?
Worrying constantly can take it out of you. Keeping you awake at night and keeping you on the edge, tense and exhausted. We all hate feeling like this, but why is it so difficult to stop worrying? For those who suffer the most from worry and anxiety, these thoughts are fed by their own subconscious feelings they hold about worrying. These can be both the negative and the positive aspects a sufferer may believe.
The belief that the constant worrying and stress is harmful. Eventually affecting your health ( both mental and physical ) and drive you crazy. The fear that one day the worry will take over and you will no longer have control of your own life.
You may feel that the worrying is helping you to avoid bad and harmful situations (“just because you’re paranoid, that doesn’t mean that they are not after you”). You may feel it prevents potential problems and keeps you geared up and ready to accept the worse. Perhaps you feel it leads to the solution of issues and problems you face from day to day.
The negative feelings and getting stressed about worrying in general can add to your anxiety and keep you worrying. However the positive theories about your worrying can be even more damaging and harmful. Once in the habit, breaking the cycle of worrying can be very difficult, especially if you believe that your worrying also protects you.
You will more than likely have a number of feelings about worrying. On the one side of the coin, you are losing sleep and can’t seem to shake the negative thoughts. On the flip side you can justify your worries to yourself
It’s hard to turn your back on your worries because, in all reality, your worries have been working for you. The first step to stopping the worry and anxiety for good, you must first give up on the theory that worrying can serve a positive purpose. The trick is to realise that your worrying is the problem, and it is not the solution. It is only once you can recognise this - that you can start to retake control of your own recovery and of your worried mind.
