I'm getting anxious from just trying to explain problems

this is why english class is important.

you open with your thesis statement, or in this case question / request.

for instance: My best friend stole money and I'm not sure if i can forgive him.

then you follow it up with some back story, relevant stuff only:
>friends since middle school
>been bros for ten years
>last week he was drunk and took 20 dollars out of my wallet
>:he says it was the only time, but he only ever admitted it cuz a mutual friend saw him do it, and I do believe some cash has gone missing before.

thats it really.

God no, please don't do this. If you link things to feeling bad, you give them the power to make you feel bad.

For example: "I am tired, being tired makes me feel bad, feeling bad makes me depressed and anxious, feeling anxious means I can't sleep" etc, it becomes a massive loop.

As soon as you stop yourself from connecting these thoughts, trying to reason with them so you can "push them out of your head" you'll begin to feel better.

I recommend Headspace, you get 10 free trials and if you really go for it it will help you immensely. I have the exact same problem as you, and this has helped me so much. Please don't start trying to explain every thought away, it'll only make it stick in your head more.
