Things are just so messed up right now, it feels like. Found out that someone tried opening a credit card account using my personal info. That's just freaky. Also got into a fender bender leaving work today and all that is on top of a really, just, sad family situation. Magnify all that by my tendencies toward OCD and I just don't even really know what to do. I know everyone has hard times and my problems are nothing compared others but if you've if you've got some trick or tip for dealing with those times you feel like a bug on the windshield of life, I could use some advice.

Heh... Oh yes, I know this feeling well...
To be perfectly honest, a lot of the time I just trudged through it. There were times that I was under such a constant onslaught that I had no energy left for self-care, and sometimes my knowledge that I'll be fine gets in the way of me making the effort for myself. But when I don't let it get in the way, a couple things of particular use to me...
Gina's suggestion is a good one. Exercise. A lot of it. What's happening in your brain is that it is now expecting to be attacked all the time, so it's pumping you full of completely unnecessary cortisol so you're ready to move. But you don't need to move, so it just sits there... giving you the fidgets and making your mind race. So, you have to burn it out of your system. Run, find something to punch, lift weights, whatever suits you. Just burn it off.
Along a similar line, I like finding something to be pumped up about. A mission. It's better than just looking for a fight.When I'm on a mission, there's no room for anxiety. But this might depend on whether you have that "BURN EVERYTHING!" sort of setting in your brain. Not everyone does. I was never anxious when I worked on a paper -- always on a mission.
Talk to people. A lot. Not necessarily about what's troubling you, but just talk to them. It helps keep you in your body and aware of the world, rather than caught up in your thoughts.
Also towards the end of staying in the world... take your shoes off and go stick your feet in a lake or a river or something. I'm serious. Sounds silly, but seriously.

Dwelling on problems that cannot be solved can be a burden that feeds itself. I have no true solution to this problem, for there is no way to truly solve it. The only thing i've been able to do there is distract myself.
Sometimes when life turns into a total cluster****, i just laugh. Breathe slowly and deeply, relax the muscles in my body, and focus on the good left in the world.
One thing that gives me a calm is reflection on the past. Often we get anxiety for the future, but the past is set it stone. It cannot be changed. Those we survive will always have been the greatness that they once were. Ideas, thoughts, impressions, personalities- these things propagate through humanity like the clouds in the sky. They do not cease to be, though the vessels that we can interact with directly may no longer give us guidance.
