So if I wanna do something, and I'm afraid I won't do it in the future, that's me wanting to do it right ? Not that I DON'T wanna do it ?
And if I don't wanna do something, and get agitated at the thought of it ever happening, that means I DON'T wanna do it right ?
These thoughts aren't related ? They aren't important ? If I want to do something, I will and if I don't, I won't ? And that's just me being myself right ?
Sorry. Obsessive overthinking.
it could be the 'three P's'.....perfection, procrastination, and paralysis..... Fear of failure is common with a lot of people who never felt what they do is good enough, so at some point they just stop trying. Some things are just not worth the hassle it takes to do them. Some things are just necessary to get on in life....and often when we pile everything up we have to do on top of each other.... we only see a huge mountain....we don't see where to even start.....so.....baby steps, one thing at a time....prioritize the most important things from the trivial....and do one thing a day or so. No matter how small....it all adds up.
No I mean. I get anxious over doing smtg my intrusive thoughts tell me. Like...doing smtg I'd never think of doing. And get scared that I might. It means I don't want it, right ?
I'm sorry....I don't know what smtg is .....I'm kinda old school......
AHAHAHAH sorry ok I'll use the proper spelling. I meant, if I don't want to do something, and a thought flashes through my mind saying "what if you do ?" And it gets me agitated, it means I don't want to do it, right ?
And if I want to do something, and my mind goes "what if you don't do it in the future ?" Or "what if it leads to you doing something you don't want" that's not true right ? I should just relax and be myself and do what I want without worrying about these what ifs and live in the present, yes ?
I hear ya.....and your right....just do what your comfortable with.....we cannot control anything really, just do our best.
It’s normal to have mixed feelings about things. I have mixed feelings all the time.
I’m ashamed that I lost my job, but also angry at the company - they screwed over a lot of people, and now because of them I’m in this situation.
I love my boyfriend and look forward to moving in with him, because I feel safer and less anxious when I’m with him. On the other hand, I also feel anxiety about this - what if things don’t work out for us?
I think a lot of people feel two ways about the same thing.
My birthday is coming and I don't want to celebrate

I'm super depressed cause of a bad thing I've done. Really bad.
How do you handle stress?
