Regretting My Job Decision

I respect you all single moms for keeing going, there must be a lot of pressure in your heads but somehow you’re still out there fighting. Not easy, I am a 23 year old guy alone in such a big country, just moved to the US from Italy. Got no friends, no family, no support but I still consider myself lucky compared to someone like you who have children and houses to look after.

I'm a single Mom too and I understand. I recently began seeing a counselor and I started to panic in a session and she calmly said to me, let's remember to stay in the present. We know that in the past and in the future is where we feel anxious. So we need to stay in the present. And I took some deep breaths and I focused for a second. And as I did, she said because right now at this moment you are safe. You are okay. At this moment all is well. And it was like my anxiety went up with a puff of smoke. It really was quite awesome. I had an experience that before. Can you try something like that to see if it will help? Since then I've been trying to stay in the present when I start to feel anxious and I've been able to do it for the most part. That doesn't mean I don't have other things that I'm dealing with, but the anxiety has been much more controllable since that happened and it's been only about 10 days.
