Perhaps because there is so much to worry about. There is a lot of space in the planet and in the universe. You are a fragile and delicate being. The question then becomes, what are your options? Become rooted. Improve your ability to tell the difference between true and phony anxieties.

Decide between genuine and imagined dread and distinguish between actual and imagined truths. No one else can live your reality for you. There is no one but you who can bear the weight (and the blessing) of your own mind. In the end, the only person who can save and protect you is yourself; others can sympathize and support but ultimately you must own and save yourself, lest you put yourself up for exploitation.

"What you focus on expands your perception." Thoughts come and go on their own, without prompting or warning. You must keep your eyes on the prize; your North Star. Make a concerted effort to move in that direction. As you make your way toward your goal, don't worry about the nagging gnats of anxiousness and despondency. In order to avoid wasting time and energy fighting gnats, you can simply continue on the path. Consider the gnats, but don't let them get in the way of your main goal. Don't give up and keep putting your efforts into achieving your goal. It's all in your head. Your ability to pay attention and concentrate is severely hampered. Your perception and focus are like a spotlight. The gnats (worry and despondency) or your loftier aspirations should be your focus. Observe the gnats and let them fly on their own. It's possible to practice this skill by meditating.

For all time, the horizon will stay out of reach. Consider the fact that "there is no getting there" before pursuing your dreams and aspirations. The present moment is all there is in life. Your current situation will never change. At the end of the day, achieving a goal is only another high moment in a journey filled with plenty of low points. As before, meditation will allow you to better comprehend this fact. What's better than a full stomach and a cozy bed to sleep in? Once you've done that, thank your lucky stars.

Your mind is a powerful tool, and it's entirely up to you to use it in the best possible way

There are no underlying mental health disorders, so long as they are not present.

There are so many benefits to walking that I'm not sure whether you can make it.

If you can get away, the better. The binaural beats and isochronic tones have to be tried if you have internet connectivity.

Becoming aware that no one owes you anything will put an end to your loneliness. Visit art exhibits, hiking trails, museums, a zoo, and other attractions that catch your eye. Join an organization. Football, swimming, or any other sport you enjoy can be a part of the club. There are a lot of individuals to meet. Trying to please everyone is a futile endeavor, therefore some people will like you and others will not. Haters are everywhere. As a result, you'll wind up with just "false friends" if you try too hard to impress others.
