I have like normal fear of spiders and stuff but it's like different am not bothered kind of thing for whatever happens because I can take care of myself or something I feel nothing will happen whatever time I go out by myself
awkwardperson, I find that very interesting in that you have no fear but you still have anxiety disorder? Are you on an SSRI by chance. Sometimes antidepressants can give you that high feeling that you are invincible. A Superman effect lol I felt like that at one time in my life (but I wasn't suffering anxiety at the time). It was when I had been in training for defensive TaiChi. I would walk out after class not afraid of anyone or anything. So I know the feeling.
Nope am not on anything I constantly have the feeling of yes not bothered by any calamities I've developed this thing about perfectionism and need to achieve stress mostly and getting things right having to be prepared for any situation what could happen might happen what if this happens need to be prepared what about you ?
I need to be able to walk away from a situation whether by my own car or my own will. Don't like feeling trapped in a dental chair. It's not the dentist I'm afraid of but the fact, once he starts on something, I cannot just get up and leave. I've really come a long way from my original fear of everything. I use deep breathing which gets me through just about anything. I still need to have my own car and be in control.
I see that's really good keep at it the main thing is progress I don't like deep breathing am more hit something when they tell me to breath I find it patronising dont worry over time it will happen just got to be strong
