Self help book
You don't know what the future holds and have anxiety about possibilities. These possibilities are predictions about the future you are making in your head. They aren't actually real, they haven't happened yet. I have to bet (because it happens to me all the time) that most of the anxiety is from things that probably will never happen at all. So don't worry about those potential situations because they aren't real right now. Don't worry, be happy! A happy calm attitude is the best way to navigate the rough seas of life.
As someone who recently graduated as well, this book is full of amazing advice. I cannot recommend it more for your situation: How To Stop Worrying And Start Living - Dale Carnegie Try picking up a cheap used copy. Just getting into reading itself helped me control my anxiety.
Leo Babatua at ZenHabits has also been a vital resource for me.
Best wishes friend!
This is actually a great point. In Dale Carnegie's book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living he points out that if you're feeling stressed about making a particular mistake, think about what would have to be true for that one mistake to have resulted in all your problems. So in this case, one might feel bad about eating extra donuts and think that they are going to fail at their diet, from here you would say: What would have to be true for two donuts to cause me to fail at my diet? The answer would be that the diet is completely dependent upon that single choice, which it is not. I'm not sure if I'm doing a great job explaining, but Dale Carnegie is a fantastic author with great insights into self improvement. His most famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People is an incredible read as well.

What I've learned in multiple shitty jobs is that we're usually a lot more resilient and adaptable than we think. That job is going to be hell for you in the beginning, but something worth remembering all the time is that it will become easier and easier with repetition. You might not ever like it, but it will certainly become easier to tolerate, and one day looking back it will just be a mild annoyance in your life/career.
Edit: A more practical tip is listening to good audiobooks on the topic of how to understand and deal with people. You can start with Dale Carnegie, but I'm sure there are modern alternatives focused on the retail life.

Thanks for the list. If I may add one book that relieve my problems with worry and anxiety: How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354 [-]
Hey, friend. I want to give you some real-word advice, from someone likely much older than you.
If this is a common thing for you, I would highly suggest reading a book called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Its $2 on Kindle. It gives some really practical advice for handling anxiety, which is something that plagues us all.
One of the techniques it mentions is keeping busy. Keep your mind, and your body, occupied. Do not give yourself time to ruminate on things. Ruminating is never productive. Ever. This is not the same as ignoring. Don't confuse the two. Ignoring a problem is bad. But ruminating on it is not the same as addressing it, and it is not helpful.
So clean that room. Just do it. You will feel inexplicably better than you think you have any right to for doing such a simple thing. And you will marvel at what in the world prevented you from doing it before, having been such a simple task.
Which brings me to another point, but I will make it my last here. More is in the book I suggested. Everyone has a todo list in their head. The size of that list is what matters anxiety-wise. Not the difficulty or length of the tasks. This is counter-intuitive.
You would think the more work you have to do, and are not doing, the more it should weigh on your mind. But that is not the case. It is the number of tasks, large or small, that weighs most heavily on your mind.
And most people have a million very small things on their mental todo list.
So clear it out. Just do them. Get them out of your mental space. They will take a shockingly short amount of time and bring you such a disproportionate amount of comfort, you will marvel at why you didn't do them sooner.
Then you can get back to splatting squids and losing every. single. game.
And that's the good type of problem to have.

Life can really suck sometimes and there is no denying that. If you watch the news, only bad horrible scary things get reported. Things we as individuals can't do much about so it seems overwhelming that you want to just curl up into a ball somewhere.
But there are so many awesome things going on but those don't make the news and because of technology, we see and hear about everything bad anywhere, especially if there is video. What helped me was listening to the audio version of "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" which is an old book (1948) written by Dale Carnegie. I have to listen to it every few years. https://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354
Sending a virtual hug. You aren't alone my friend.
Criterion Collection. All of it.
Hemingway. "Old Man And the Sea" is delightful and a quick read. You don't want to die not having read it. What else is the point?
That said: Prioritize. Spending time with friends or away from computers is way more important than any of this. Have fun or learn how to do that (tl;dr: Most of your judgements are false, get over yourself).
Gratitude. You're sitting in front of a computer. You're pretty rich.
"Nirvana" read by Tom Waits.
This book helped me immensely http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354
For right now, just see if you can think of 3 good positive things about yourself. No one but you needs to know about them. Asking this question frequently will help you learn to refocus onto more positive things in life and about yourself. Maybe see if you can ask yourself this question every morning when you wake up and/or whenever you are going to sleep.
Also, research "Kaizen" philosophy.
Good luck, fellow traveler
It might just be hormone related. There's no real reason other than you're an animal like the rest of us. Hang in there. You are certainly not alone. Try and get out of your head and think about solving other people's problems.
Carnegie has a pretty good book about work stress for your hubby: http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354
Reading the 'How to stop worrying' book description just now, two thoughts come to mind. Worry is beneficial so long as it doesn't get out of control, and if it is out of control, I'd consult professional help long before seeking help through a book.
A semi-alternative to therapy is to find a web forum for your specific issue -- at least you're still communicating with other people. Reddit is welcoming if you can ignore the occasional arsehole. There is /r/selfhelp/.
Hi there. I can't imagine what you are going through and I wish your mother all the best during this time. You can surely agree that the drinking has to stop, right? Drinking because of a shitty situation doesn't it make it go away and usually just makes it worse. I know you know that obviously.
I recently read a book called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (pretty famous author and book so you might know it). It says that it's best to evaluate the worst case scenario, accept that it is possible and prepare a plan of action for it. If you are prepared for the worst case then you can definitely handle a less severe outcome if you get lucky.
We're here to listen. I hope you stay sober today, piece together a plan of action, tell your mom how much you love her and start building yourself back up. You can do it.
Also thank you for reminding me why I needed to quit. I don't have any legal consequences from drinking but I bet it could easily happen if I had kept binge drinking. It's just not worth it.
Well, I don't really read self-help books or books about life. (got a few other book suggestions for dry histories and sciences, but that's OT). But I've read a good bit of How to stop
worrying and start living which was pretty good. I hear Carnegie's other books are good too.
Personally I think that everyone has to find their own path in life. While books may have the answer for some, I don't want to spend my life researching how to spend your life. The way I see it, as long as you are marginally happy with your current situation, and you have a good goal to work towards, then you are in a good position. Otherwise, do what it takes to get to that point. That's basically what some of the books will tell you anyway.
Sorry I couldn't suggest anything more in this reply.
You've first got to give up the habit of worrying. Read Dale Carnegie on worrying
There is a book titled "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living." It is full of great tips and really saved me at one point.
The other thing that did wonders for my stress was yoga. There is just something about it that calms me and keeps me that way.
Hey man check out this book, it really helped me out when I was feeling down and depressed and if you really apply the priniciples in the book it will make a huge difference.

Definitely anxiety. Talk to a psych (same copay as a doctor usually). A few books that might help are... No More Mr. Nice Guy and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Meds and therapy also help.
Book recommendation: How to stop worrying and start living. Here's an old online pdf. You can get the book through Amazon. I've got a copy with key parts underlined which I read every now and then. Good problem solving and mind reframing stuff.
Dale Carnegie's How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is a classic. A bit dated today, perhaps, and not the most in-depth or scientific option, but the basic principles all still apply. And it's a great way to really get a solid practical grasp on your anxiety issues and start working on them immediately by taking concrete steps. Carnegie is excellent at keeping the reader engaged and putting his advice into easily understandable and relatable terms. I still think of his "day-tight compartments" metaphor all the time.
This is a really good book to read that touches upon what you just talked about.
Don't give up reading. Read this. And this. The titles may be a bit misleading, but I am sure reading those books will help you out.
A pop doesn't necessarily have to be anything bad at all.
In fact it's pretty easy and harmless to force a pop by trying to exhale through your nose while pinching it (great tip for when flying).If you're really worried or have other symptoms, you could go to the doctor. But I'd be willing to bet you're perfectly fine.Off-topic, but this book did a lot for me as cheesy as it may sound. Might not be applicable for you at all, but just thought I'd throw it out there: http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354
Merry Christmas soon enuf =)
> I can completely relate to your worries.
Worries? I hate them, or hated them. I don't have that many anymore.
Here is a book which helped me kill, banish or get rid of worry. Use whichever verb you prefer. The book is worth its cost.

I don't think he means 10 close friends. Just 10 acquaintances, a big difference.
But if you want to feel better, I suggest reading this book, or at least researching it.
Pick up a copy of How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. I read it every couple of years for the past decade and it has really helps to make sure you are actually able to live your life outside of your job. It's short and sweet, each principle comes with a small anecdote or story to help illustrate ways to not let stress put you in an early grave. Enjoy your summer, bro!
