Social phobia

[Sofiexxx]

My phobia and Ocd is killing me. Does anyone else also feel a great amount of fear of going to work? I am constsntly scared I am going to do something wrong, i have lost all hope.

I can relate! Just started a new job.. I feel like if I make a mistake people will be disappointed or mad.. however you know what. At the end of day just go to work do your job and go home.. ignore all the little stuff and people who make you feel like your not doing a good job.. chances are you are doing a good job.. and you are being hard on yourself

It i very hard to ignore. I cant believe I have come to this. I was the strongest girl ever. I would never allow anyone to do me wrong or over or even be affected by anyone. I am so sad and depressed at my mental state.

I've become afraid of staying home and of going out. I'm afraid if someone comes into my house and if no one comes to my house.

Didn't have fears in my past except those that were warranted.

Mature adults have a tough time coping with physical changes, then incomes mental changes. Bah Humbug!

Continue to concentrate on yourself. Those negative thoughts about others, are coming from the anxiety.

Go for talk therapy.

When I go to work with people who I've been working with for several .months I still feel major anxiety about doing our saying something wrong. Its 24/7. I fear it will never end

I'm afraid of the unknown. After 4 yrs of talk therapy and my body resisting meds, our only conclusion is that I don't feel safe. Beyond that--- nothing.

I was just taught to open my eyes to view my surrroundings and say "I am safe".

I'm afraid of not having control of myself and the outcome of having others in my life.

As a lifelong independent person I'm being told to trust others and so what if they aren't on time for a Dr. appt or someone coming to my house is late? I stress out afraid they won't show up.

My rational mind says "so what?". My anxiety mind builds up all kinds of WHAT IF.....
