Constant worrying a new problem

I feel like I'm becoming a chronic worrier. I have to worry about something. Things that are ridiculous part of it is like I'm a hypochondriac. Like I have some horrible disease, or that my job is in jeopardy. This week I'm worried about a dr. appt I have tomorrow and hearing bad news (nothing in particular just anything), my job, and that none of my friends will remember/care about my birthday.

When does it get to the point where the worrying is not normal? What do you do about this? I feel like I'm driving myself (and those friends who will listen to me) crazy.

And lastly it's almost like a enjoy it for that sense of relief I get when everything is ok. And part of me knows it will be, but I try to convince myself otherwise.

Hi! It's nice to see you;) I think that many of us decided our worry/fear/anxiety wasn't *normal* when we weren't able to function in our everyday lives. If you can't sleep/think/eat
