I worry about simple stuff that don't stop people in their tracks like it does for me. For example, which store to I to first, do I go to the bank today or wait. Does my dog love me? Am I a good mom to him? Then I'll obsess about y dog. Does he get enough exercise? What will I do if he ever gets sick.

Another example is my relauonship with this guy I'm seeing. Am I asking to see him too much? What is too much? Does he wanna be exclusive? Then I won't sleep for hours- last night I was up an extra 4 hrs past my bed time just thinking an wondering what to say and how to talk to him about my concerns- over the phone or in person.

My main thing is I can't decide what I want- even what to do in a particular day- dog park, store, workout. It is almost debilitating. I feel like its often exhausting at the same time. I can't shut my brain off.

It sounds like it could be a form of anxiety. Although what you say about the guy you are seeing sounds more like an attachment thing. I'm not sure. But if you want closure, I would see someone about it

I'd agree that that's anxiety. My therapist and I spoke about these repetitive thought patterns today. Her suggestion was to change our environments when we get into these patterns. She mentioned that when people put their face in cold water, their brain reacts and their whole body calms down. I'm not suggesting everyone do that (if you want to, I bet it works), but the point is there are ways to interrupt these cycles that bother us. I like to step outside and get some sunlight or I shut off the music and the lights and let go of whatever I was worrying about--for the next 3 minutes nothing matters.

If you want to talk about it, I've got a little experience and I could help you out, I think.

Personally, I ever have had this type of questions and yes, I think it is a form of anxiety. When you are worrying for some small concerns, it can be a type of anxiety.

Usually I pick one thing, not on purpose, but that is just how it usually works out...and I focus on that for a few days....like obsessing about my relationship or stressing about my job, etc...

I am seeing my doc on Saturday.

I'm sure your dog loves you. My boy is my best friend. Don't need humans xx
