I'm finding myself more and more consumed by negative shit throughout the day. It tends to just send me into a shitty mood until I can just get somewhere private and let the thoughts just fade away themselves. I'm not sure what causes it exactly. Sometimes it's just a random thought that spirals out of control, usually with no real "reason" to it. For example I could just start panicking about the reasons I could get fired.
Sometimes it's just because I'm jumping to conclusions and inception-ing my way through more layers of anxiety. Take the earlier example and add what if questions to it? What if I'm terrible at everything, what if I get hurt at the job, what if I get yelled at, what if I panic?
Most of the time I get sent into these negativity spirals because the thoughts just won't stop.
Those of you that know what I mean or experience the same things...what do you do to stop falling into this pattern of negativity?

Start a work out routine even if you don't feel like. Or walks/exposure to sunlight and fresh air while doing a brisk walk is suggested to help some. Above would likely help, science is on their side. Something about boosted circulation, metabolism, and release of compounds that negate what you're feeling lately.
