Hello.

I feel idk..stupid? for posting a new thread about my situation, but I feel as though I need to get this out and ask for opinions, and you guys seem nice enough anyway.

Alright. For a while now, I have noticed that I have been having what I feel as an abnormal amount of anxiety, centered around worrying about miniscule and pathetic fears. Many, though not all, link back to situations where I can give a reason for why the worry has spawned.

Examples include:

I worry about locking myself out of my dorm house. I did that once and stayed in the stairwell for five minutes until someone came out and I could go back and get my keys. In response to this, I check to make sure I have my keys on average, about five times before I leave the dorm. (Twice before I leave the room, once at the elevator, and a couple times as I walk through the lobby.)

After I come home from work on the weekends, while I am in bed, I will get a sudden worry that I didnt put the car in park, set the parking break, or turn off the lights, even when there are times when I know I did it. I will have to force myself not to think about it in order to go to sleep (I try as often as possible to not actually go out and check if I know for a fact I turned it off).

When I am being picked up from school on the weekends, or anytime I need to be picked up (not as much now that I have a car), wow.. those situations are probably the worst. If my ride is not out in the parking lot when I get down there I begin to slightly panic.. slightly in the fact that I dont have an anxiety attack, but inside my mind is racing. All of these thoughts come racing in my mind and I dont know what to do. This will even happen when I am early and they are not even scheduled to be there yet.

These are just a few things that I have noticed recently. I am starting to keep track of everything that causes me anxiety, that I can pinpoint anyway, to get a better grip on it. But since I have confronted the fact that I may have an anxiety problem, my anxiety has been getting worse. It is the only thing I can think about and I have lost much of my already draining concentration worrying about it, although I dont know what exactly why I am worried about having an anxiety problem..

even right now I am feeling tense...and.. frustrated....

I would like to go to a doctor to have an official diagnostic, but I don't want to have to confront my mom about it, but if I don't I have no way of going. I feel as though she will push it off and think that I am stupid for wanting to go to the doctor.

I don't know. That is my story.. really long and possibly pointless. I dont know.

Feedback would be really appreciated.
