As others have suggested, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is going to help enormously with this - I have personal experience of it, and it is very good. Depending on where you are, you may need to wait to get an appointment (I had to wait 4 months to see a CBT worker on the NHS in the UK) so in the meantime, you may want to try this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindfulness-practical-guide-finding-frantic/dp/074995308X http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindfulness-practical-guide-finding-... Which is an 8 week course of ways to meditate to practise breaking the negative spirals of thoughts. My partner and I are currently working though it, and while it can seem like it's talking down to you some of the time (especially if you're a geek like me) you should persevere, as the actual conclusions, practical advice and meditations are very helpful (and have been shown to work in clinical trials.) Good luck, life gets better than this! :)
