You are not alone—anxiety and catastrophization make things harder for a lot of people. The good news is that CBT has been shown to be more effective than placebo therapy for making improvements in this area. If as you say you can’t pay for a therapist, try working from a book such as Mind Over Mood. I hope you’re able to find some relief!
I’d like to second this recommendation. I used to catastrophise to a crippling degree, and I do it far less since my course of CBT. Mind Over Mood is excellent.
Some anti-depressants work pretty well for anxiety too. Are you on any medication?
