I'm Tired of Being Filled with Anxiety

Seriously, I feel like the older I get, the less I'm able to cope.  But then again, maybe I could never really cope all that well, and it's just that now I have more and bigger problems than I did when I was younger.

I'm tired of waking up with anxiety.  I'm tired of the minute I wake up my brain immediately wants to think about everything that bothers me.  I'm tired of not being able to stop being anxious for things that I have no right to be anxious about.  I'm tired of my brain making things up in my head that keeps me in a state of constant anxiety.

I'm tired that no matter what I try, meditation, therapy, cbd, exercise, grounding, breathing... unless I do it all day long, it only helps temporarily.

I want this to stop.  I'm tired of feeling this way.  Do I just have to stop caring about everyone and everything, and take on a solid "I don't care!" attitude in order for me to put focus on myself first?

I don't know but I could sure use some answers.

I think we all have our balance to find.... to pick and chose what we devote our care and concern for.

I think of this every time i get anxious and worried about things and really use it to really remind me somethings are out of my control and stressing about it is only hurting myself. 

the serenity prayer part 

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
