Wasting life

I’ve wasted so many hours, days, weeks of my life because of this anxiety. I have been trying to get in the shower to get ready for about 4 hours. I could of had so much done by know but I’m frozen. I hate it. It’s pathetic, I know there is no real reason but I have no control.

I always say to myself "Just do it".

Go and get in the shower.

Don't think about it. Just get in the shower (only don't take your phone!) and post us when you're done and then we can say "well done".

Hope this works x

Writing a detailed to-do list helps me... I feel really good when I cross things off the list... even if it is ‘shower’

Same! I’m not saying this is the best advice but what seems to be working for me lately...

Is get mad, get angry, get even!.. at the feeling! Tell the feeling NO I do not want to continue this way! I will not continue to allow these feelings to stop me!

I feel you. I shower only one or two times a week because I'm so afraid of showering.

You guys are awesome ❤️

In some people it can be a chemical imbalance. So you might not have control of those things.
