How to mitigate anxiety originating from multiple sources

I [28m] recently have realized I have terrible anxiety.

Some of the primary anxiety sources for me are:

  • Losing my job and being unable to find a new job in time and experiencing a financial crisis
  • Aging and decaying and someone close to me dying
  • FOMO and missing out on fun experiences as I get older
  • Fear of becoming a co-dependent in my friendships/relationship dynamics

Today, I had a terrible hangover, which made me feel really anxious and jittery. I invited my family over for Labor day and I cooked them food. This event made me EXTREMELY anxious to the point that I'm sitting here crying after they left.

The thought of going back to work tomorrow with all the shit piling up is also giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Any advice on what to do? Weed definitely helps me mitigate this, but I feel like I'm forming a codependent relationship with it because when I'm sober, my anxiety gets horrible. Finding a good IRL therapist is also another anxiety inducing thing.
