Sup NT,
I believe I have General Anxiety Disorder. I've been seeing a doctor and speaking about how my life is not right. I am constantly worrying about something, even if it's the most insignificant thing. If something happens that I believe can have bad repercussions, I stress and stress and stress about them.
I also get real anxious about things that I have no control over. Say I'm driving for a long time, I feel my car will break down or I'll end with a flat, etc. Normal people don't think like that, they just roll with the punches and do what they gotta do.
Much of my anxiety is due in large part to how others perceive me as well. Everytime a girl and I have broken up, I automatically worry that I did something wrong or didn't do something right. I constantly fear that there was something about me that made the relationship end. For instance, I worry that maybe I was to anxious around them, to fearful of the future, worrying about going on a road trip, was it the sex? Was it my anger sometimes, which was rare. No matter the case, I constantly get anxious and worry.
Even if I'm out with friends and say my best friend introduces me to a friend. We'll chill and shoot the @!!# and what not, but the next day I'll be like what did that kid think of me? Did I look like an idiot? Did I say something that might have offended him?
THE WORST ANXIETY though comes when I think about the future and money. I will be having a great day and all of a sudden I'll stop and think, I should be buying a a house in a couple years how am I going to do that? And I'll worry and it'll ruin the rest of my day. Literally, you can feel it in your chest when your anxious about something and I feel that A LOT.
I want to start living a life without worry. I feel it's shaving years off my life the way I worry and stress about things so much. None of my friends are like this. I feel I lost friends and girlfriends due to this.
Has anyone had this anxiety? How did you overcome? Can it be treated?
