7. I've experienced the feeling of waking and feeling at peace and then being overcome with worry.

I'm sorry you are in this situation. In regard to the data breach worry, this helped me. I played out in my mind the steps of a worst case scenario of identity theft. What would likely happen, what I would have to do and how it would affect me. I had frozen my credit, which was really the only proactive thing I could do, short of paying for credit monitoring. I remind myself that identity theft is a real possibility, but in most situations that I'm familiar with, companies have policies that help victims. The horror story situations aren't the norm and I can get through it.

I agree with the other posters regarding exercise. Taking a walk always helps my sense of well-being. I wish I could help, but I care and continue to pray for you.
