I agree with ng. I'm a worrywart by nature. I was on antidepressants for a year, and that really helped with the worry (I'm not suggesting getting on them, it was just a bonus side effect). Since I've come off them, I've found the worry coming back. I've had to literally make myself aware of the problem, realize there is nothing I can do about it at this very instant (usually at least), and concentrate on breathing or visualizing something pleasant. This usually happens before I fall asleep...during the day I'm usually busy or my mind is focused elsewhere. It has really helped me.
