    Annie.

    I suggest you start reading books on mindful (or transcendental) meditation and developing a daily practice. 20-30 minutes per day is all it takes. This is how I cured my anxiety. Meditation will allow you to stop these recurring negative thoughts and emotions and see things more clearly. You will have much more energy instead of wasting it on anxieties of these sorts. Try the book “Mindfulness in plain English”…

    The articles on tinybudda are encouraging but I agree do not teach you “how”

    How do you let go? You practice. You keep practicing.

    I second Chris’s advice to read something more in depth than a feel-good online article on meditation. I would recommend mindfulness over the transcendental stuff though. It’s not easy to develop a practice but it can help immensely. Maybe there is a sitting group or a course in your area that you could join. Friendships are very valuable in learing HOW.

    Good luck.

    Dear Anne:
    meditation and mindfulness, tools and skills- great. You also need insight about how your original attachment trauma/ injury happened. How you were abandoned in some way by a parent/s. We are social beings and always need others in our lives. How to need another but not obsess- look into the original abandonment/ neglect, feel the pain- within good psychotherapy ? and integrate that experience into your brain so that the unresolved anagndonment pain, attachment-injury stops replaying itself- it wants your attention, acknowledgment. It wants to be known and it will probably not go away and will not allow you to “move on” until it is properly, adequaltely, sufficiently and empathetically ACKNOWLEDGED.
    Take care:
