how to stop worrying?

so this is something i've been dealing with for a while now. i'm not exactly sure when it started but it's become an addiction and now i don't know how to stop it. most of the time i don't even realize what i'm doing...
for example, my friend bill and i drove cross country last (was it last? maybe two) year. the whole time all i could think about was when we were going to get to our next destination. what our next step was. if we were going to have enough money to keep going.
even now, and maybe now it's because i have absolutely no control over what's going to happen next but, i'm constantly thinking about the next move. i think and i plot and i analyze. i worry about money. i worry about boredom. i worry about my boredom and erik's. probably more so erik's because i feel responsible for him being here. i worry about what my next move is and whether i'm going to be doing the right things with my life. i worry about doing well at my job even though i hate it more and more every day. i worry about us leaving here, even though we hate it so much. i worry about where we're going to go. i worry about us moving back to nh and the people we might run into. i worry about living with my parents again. i worry about the wedding we haven't planned and whether i'm going to run out of time.
how do i stop this?
if you look up articles on worrying, they give you advice on what to do to aid your worriments or to just tell yourself to stop.
if i don't realize what i'm doing how am i supposed to stop?
heck those are only things that came to mind in the past minute.
i've even been to therapy... seriously. that didn't even help me. how to i stop doing this every day? stop counting down my life and start living it? how to i let myself let it all go? and worst of all, how did i get this way to begin with?





i blame college.
