Why do I have a constant feeling of anxiety and negative thoughts?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals your age suffer such anticipatory anxiety and stress about the future. You are in a job and have anticipation about the things that are not going to happen. You are thinking about the worst scenario, not feeling happy, not enjoying current achievements, and these could be considered normal to some extent. But if you are facing problems in your day-to-day activities and the job, then that could be a sign of mild depression or generalized anxiety. Try to keep yourself busy with some productive activities apart from studies, like listening to music at low volume might help you in anxiety and this will surely lift your mood. Try to find out the things that are resulting in distress, and think about this stuff. Are you really stressing, or are you just overreacting to these thoughts? Increase intake of vitamin B12 and folate in your diet. You can use supplements too. You can also take Omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods like walnuts, sardine, fish, etc., and this will help to reduce the depressive symptoms. Get your thyroid profile done to rule out hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, as both these conditions result in depressive symptoms. Follow these steps, and I am sure you will see improvement in yourself. Believe in yourself, and hard work will reduce any anticipatory anxiety. Thank you.
