ALL problems are created in the mind. Not some.... not a few with outside factors influencing them.... not a couple based on some condition of universal influx and bad mojo.... ALL PROBLEMS ARE CREATED IN THE MIND. And all problems are solved in the mind.
What happened to me physically was done completely because of my own thought patterns. As soon as I modified my thought pattern last night back to a healthy one... it all went away.
I've spent years reading different and various philosophies, and that is the only thing that finally saved me. I would be in the hospital today if I hadn't been able to pull on that and put shit back into perspective immediately. No joke. Because I was sitting here last night shaking uncontrollably and drooling.... completely unable to function any further or even speak. That was the break point.
Might sound funny... (and it kinda is....) but it's real shit. The mind can seriously fuck you if you let it.

In a way, it's death that means that none of this is really real, if by real you mean something that will last. Of all things it can be said, 'This, too shall pass,' and that includes all of our problems. And, as you say, all of our problems are not really real, either, for they are in our heads. A lot of our stress is caused by trying to control everything, trying to win everything, trying, trying, trying. Of course, nothing happens without some effort, but at the same time (and embracing a contradiction) many of the best things that happen are effortless. (Either they simply come naturally to us, or they are serendipitous.)
It's good to hear you're on the right track.
