- The book Managing Your Mind [1] has an excellent chapter about dealing with anxiety and the thoughts you described. The approaches in this book are rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Helped me tremendously.
You might also profit from some mindfulness training in order to learn to live more in the present moment and let go of the future.

- Your primary care physician can probably refer you to someone. It would be a good place to start. "Feeling Good" (Burns) is a good source of CBT information and exercises. I would also recommend "Managing Your Mind" (Butler and Hope). Another approach called "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" has showed some promise in research. The book "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" (Hayes) was written by the person who developed ACT. Another good workbook on the subject is "The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety" (Forsyth and Eifert).
