Stuck in punishing myself when in actual fact it is other people who are doing or saying stuff. Experienced a feeling of what seemed to be devasting rejection. Might be a misinterpretation but that is in retrospect.
Beating myself up over something my husband said that increased the quandary that I live in. Is it okay or isn't it.
Same quandary over other things. Should I get the purse on sale because I like it or is it an unnecessary expenditure. I have other purses I can use.
Same with food! I live in a should I or shoudn't I state.
Also conversation should I mention this little bit of news I saw on TV or should I not?
So I literally bang myself on the head inside to prevent feeling the feeling,saying the words, eating or most anything. It is a habit and long standing problem. It is just that it is worse and it hurts!
It feels like everything has a definite right or wrong .

I'm so sorry this is an overwhelming sense of dread and anxiety for you. This sounds like a problem that a lot of people go through, though. So, perhaps knowing that you aren't alone will make you feel better? At least, I think it's common, since I feel the same way. I wonder constantly if I should or shouldn't say something, do something, eat something, constantly. It's like an extreme form of indecisiveness, I guess? It gives me an overwhelming sense of anxiety.



So, I get that it can be quite the struggle.

If you need some help with the anxiety of whether you should or shouldn't, here are some links that really help me when I'm anxious;

I suffer with horrible anxiety and often have thoughts like these.
Especially when it comes to talking to strangers or being out in public.
It also happens when I get angry or sad.
I hope you can find the help you need.
