Sometime when distress(worry, upset) creep into our thoughts and emotions, we feel overwhelmed.  At this point we must choose what we are going to do with our negative thoughts and feelings.  If we choose to take them to God , He will help- sounds so simple, yet so true!  Many times in my life I have taken my overwhelming thoughts and feelings to the Lord.  He is always faithful to take the negative load in my heart and give me His grace in return. At times I get fast relief, but at other times it takes choosing to go back to Jesus again and again for more talking it out(prayer), before I get relief from the negative feelings and thoughts associated with distress.  Remember whatever state you are in, God loves you unconditionally and longs to help and support you through the hard times, that is His nature.

“In my distress[when seemingly closed in] I called upon the Lord and cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple [heavenly dwelling place], and my cry came before Him into His [very] ears”(Psalm 18:6). amplified Bible
