I been realizing recently that my anxiety has gotten worse and is affecting me on a day too day basis. Where's before I would have problems maybe once or twice a week I'm having them every day.

Social life has become an issue too. Without fail I would go out every week too Karaoke on a Thursday and also occasionally go out on Sunday as well. Now my decision to go out is dependent on who else is out. Last Thursday as an example because I knew that neither my Sister or the majority of my freinds would not be out i too didn't go out.

I avoided a recent work Christmas party even though I had paid for my ticket already and was hell bent on attending as it would be my first at my current job.

Dealing with customers at work has been difficult too where as before I use too be really good at customer service I find myself no longer putting in the same effort as before eventually this will get noticed when I end up speaking to one of the stores mystery customers.

I'm dogged by nightmares of my friends leaving me or getting seriously hurt and dying and now am afraid of going to sleep. I'm lacking motivation and just find myself wasting away the hours doing practically nothing.

I am starting to believe my anxiety is becoming a major issue but am not sure whether this is the case or I'm paranoid.

The real question I'm asking is am I in control or is my anxiety in control. If someone could please assist me with awnsering this question I would be very grateful.
