Mad anxiety

[AhmedRaja]

I feel like people are watching and judging me, I want to know how to overcome this. I cannot look at women. Then I feel they are watching me. What can I do, please help. I will be starting psychotherapy soon and am currently taking CBT

Hi I would ask myself why I was so important to other people that they would bother watching, staring, or judging me? The truth of it is people are much too involved in their own lives to spare the energy or time to do this. This is fact so try and get this idea out of your head.

You are obviously very self conscious and perhaps feel shame and guilt and you are projecting this onto others. x

Yes, it happens and constantly, even when I’m watching tv. I could be sitting outside on the bus. My sleep has been terrible and I can’t sit still. I now take zopiclone at night.
