I'm scared of what I'll feel if I stop working towards something

I recently realized I'm very much hypervigilant and that I use productivity and working towards goals as a way to run from the present thanks to my therapist. The thing is, I'm terrified of stopping for even one second. And I don't mean I can't relax with games or my hobbies, but I mean that I'm genuinely really, really scared of just not doing anything at all. I'm terrified of the possibility of bad things happening to the people I love or to myself and I don't have those thoughts if I'm constantly busy, but it's honestly kind of exhausting to live like this. Any advice on how to deal with this? Thanks.

Is this happening to any other incoming freshmen?? I sent in my residency declaration eight weeks ago and an application addendum form that's important for my FAFSA four weeks ago and they STILL haven't processed either. Every time I call they just tell me the same thing. Does anybody know if there's anything else I can do? I'm kind of in a time crunch since I leave for another country (where I'll spend my summer) in three weeks and I don't know what to do since I won't be able to call them. Does anybody know if I could go talk to them in person?
