Hello everyone, I am SJ, I am a sophmore in college and have a wonderful family, friends and boyfriend, overall great life. Although ever since I was a child, I have had excessive worry and anxiousness. I haven't never been formally diagnosed with anything, although a guidance counselor screened me in elementary school and said I had anxiety issues. I am too worried/embarrassed to talk to my doctor about how I feel. I am more comfortable sticking with my physical health issues, like my severe allergies. I do yoga to help control my worry/anxiousness but I am trying to reach out and talk with others who are having the same problems. I worry about daily things, no matter how small they will be on my mind. My most common anxious thoughts/fears are that I have/might get some serious health problem, that something will happened to a loved one, and being embarrassed about something I did wrong, or made a mistake on, or that I am being judged/or talked about. Today, I had one of those feelings like everything I'm doing doesn't matter because I could not exist tomorrow, and then I worry about what I'm worrying about because thats not something normal to worry about it, and its this vicious cycle that never ends! And when I am nervous I constantly rub my eyebrow, and have to mess with something like a necklace. But the eyebrow rubbing has become constant to the point where I am creating red marks and losing hair, it worries me that I cannot stop this, and that it does calm me down when I do it. Does anyone have any of the same feelings or could provide insight?
