Feeling constantly on edge and can't seem to turn my brain off

Hey everyone. I'm posting here because my anxiety has been really high lately, and I'm having a hard time managing it. It feels like this constant, heavy weight in the background of everything I do.

Even when nothing is actively wrong, my mind is constantly racing, anticipating the next bad thing, or overthinking the smallest details. It is incredibly exhausting to be in a state of high alert all day, and it's starting to take a physical toll on me too. I just feel restless and tired at the same time.

I really want to break out of this loop, but sometimes the anxiety makes it hard to even think clearly enough to find a solution.

If you deal with this kind of constant, running anxiety, how do you handle it? Are there any specific grounding techniques, habits, or shifts in mindset that actually make a difference for you? I could really use some support or advice right now. Thanks for reading.
