Putting that aside, there are "proven" things you can do to lower your stress and improve your health, mentally, spiritually and physically.
Get Sunlight - Vitamin D isn't just a "vitamin" it's also a hormone. And for men, it aids in building testosterone. I would also mention that low T can lead to a lot of issues, including anxiety, lower sexual desire, hairloss, weight gain, etc
Walk outside - bonus - Walkoutside barefoot - I recently started doing this with my wife at the beach, and it really does relax you. Not only have studies shown that it has quite a few benefits, like lower blood pressure, better sleeping, more energy, it can help reduce stress and get you out of the house
Avoid social media - purely created to control your perception of reality by inundating you with nonsense of selective photos of friends and acquaintance "happiness" instead, try to find a hobby, which you'll notice people have less of these days...
Prayer - If you haven't found the creator, I encourage you to try. It's truly something you must experience and test for yourself - best of all, it costs absolutely nothing and actually does something, unlike some drugs out there...

Nope, ur not nutty…
This was a perspective changer for me:

And for the OP…quit giving such a fuk about “stuff”. Tough to do if you’re part of the machine and a people pleaser. As another post pointed out, get comfortable with “saying no”. It gets easier with practice and being super mindful of how far you stretch yourself to please others or outcomes.
Lastly, over the last couple years I’ve finally figured out, in my early 50’s, to quit trying to figure out the logic behind other people’s and society’s decisions…this is a game changer. While I care, I’m not the global jack-ass whisperer. Be you, and apply your care, passions, and kindness to those who can use and appreciate it (without the need for reciprocation).
Oh, and get plenty of sleep. Really.
Be well.
