[QUOTE=irgendwie;4827506]I've always been this way. I think I'm just a generally anxious person, but sometimes it gets to a point in which I'm truly afraid there's something wrong. Thanks for the responses, everyone.[/Q
Hello dear "Green"] irgendwie. Hi there, and in answer to your post: though I'm not a medical person, I do know and suffer a number mental issues and problems such as you described.
Yes, your 'over thinking' and 'analizing' situations (also keep going over events after they've happened) is indeed a sign of anxiety I'd say. I suffer GAD, that's general anxiety disorder. I'm either planning before an event what I'm going to say or not say, then whilst I'm talking I'm extremely conscious of myself and what I'm saying, then as soon as the even has finished I go over and over it all for hours afterwards. I go over what I 'should' have said, I go over what I 'shouldn't have said and this goes on all night if it's a late day event. I'm anxious from the time I start to be around people to the time I go to bed.
Do you feel unconfident? I suspect you do, and are you very self conscious about everything you are or everything you 'appear' to be? I ask these questions because they both apply to me big time. I have BDD (body dysmorphic disorder) worry incessantly about how I look, i.e. do I look fat? I have eating disorders.
Unfortunatly, my anxiety tends to show it's self by me sometimes seeming to be somewhat bolshy or stand~offish. It's a kinda self~protection thing. I always joke about myself, calling myself fat and ugly in a joking manor, trying to say it first, before anyone else says it.
Yes, as someone else said, it would be a very good idea to see if you can see a therapist, if you are not already. I honestly think, as myself, it's a self esteem issue, though I'm NOT making light of this as it's a debillatating condition. Message me if you would like to, Take care.
