I am so indecisive! I can't make decisions. It's driving me crazy.
Here are some examples of what I mean:
1) I just found out the toddler I babysit is moving away in a few weeks. I have two choices, go to work full time or find more kids to babysit and run an in home daycare. I feel like no matter which I choose, I am going to feel like it was the wrong decision, and feel like I should have picked the other option.
2) Dating. I am stressing myself out about this guy I am seeing. Sometimes I feel like we are not right for each other, but then I realize it's just me trying to push him away because I want to be alone. I feel like maybe I am incapable of loving someone else. I don't know if I will ever love anyone. So I am conflicted because I don't know weather I should keep dating him or not.
3) Grocery shopping. This really stresses me out. I spend so much time menu planning and stressing myself out about staying in budget and I go to bed thinking ok, I am going to go grocery shopping tomorrow with this list. The next morning I am not happy with that list and I have to make another one because I feel like I need to make a different menu plan. A few weeks ago, I spent all my grocery money in one trip and got everything for the two weeks. A few days later I was very upset because I suddenly didn't want anything that I had bought, and wanted to buy new groceries.
I also always go back and forth on what kids of foods I let myself eat and what diets to go on. Yes, I know I shouldn't be doing diets at all.
I am always going back and forth on everything...how do I make a decision?!

Try this:

Write list of things you can do.
Write the pros and cons.
Pick one of the things.
Watch yourself crinkle the papers with the other decisions and tell yourself you have made the best valued choice of them all.
When you begin to doubt yourself look at the paper and the reasons you picked that choice. Counteract the negative thought with a positive listed.

don't get me started on this one... i'm terrible for it.

big dicisions are hard enough as it is (in a normal world) but then i have problems with those, and the really small things... and i mean really small things!

today for example i had a bowl of grapes and i didon't want them- so took them out to the kitchen. then about 2 minits later i wanted them, so went back to get them from the work top, then didon't want them, then wanted them.... my brother must have moved the bowl of grapes at least 16 times... it gets beyond a joke when it comes to something like that

you can't even decided on if you want to sit on the left or the right side of the sofa, then you've a problem

I'm a hugely indecisive too. I like the list suggestion a lot. It could work for you.

My problem, no kidding, I lose the list or put things off. I'm a notorious procrastinator.

I think a big help, with a list or other things is making it habit. Maybe I'll give it another go too.

My indecisiveness, or flakiness, as my family calls it makes them very frustrated.

Decisions are hard for everyone not just us BPs. Sometimes our brain's thinking process goes so fast we forget the details. 1. Have you checked out all the details in running a daycare at home in some states there are rules and safety standards to be licensed .2.Does he make u feel good about yourself.3. Good Luck on that one. I throw a lot of food away. Confused has a good take on that one.
