I want to encourage you to go to Intouch Ministries online. The information below was from a daily devotion. They have many great things for you to watch or read that will help you with the issues you described in your post.
God Bless you.
Philippians 4:4-9
We live in a culture inundated with anxiety and fear, where people make a habit of worrying because it provides a false sense of control. But Christians don't have to give in to these feelings, as we have a Savior who has promised us His peace, "which surpasses all comprehension" ( Phil. 4:7). Thankfully, there are a couple of practices we can employ to guard against worry.
First, we must be careful about what we allow to fill our mind-listening to the many purveyors of doom and gloom can easily lead to fear, anxiety, or panic. If you become agitated after hearing the news, listening to podcasts, or reading social media, it's time to take a break. Instead, do what Paul encourages in today's passage: Think about whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, commendable, and praiseworthy ( Phil. 4:8).
Another source of worry is materialism. The more we have, the more we fret about what might happen to our possessions and financial security. But Jesus warned against storing up treasure on earth ( Matthew 6:19-20). Instead, we should seek first God's kingdom and righteousness and trust Him to provide for our needs ( Matthew 6:33). If we'll put Him first, worry won't gain a foothold in our lives.
