Can indecisiveness go along with psychotic illnesses? Lately I've been very indecisive; it's to the point where I'll walk in and out of a room several times because I can't decide what I want to do. I almost deleted this thread, more than once.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm not depressed or manic, so it's not a mood issue.

I never had that but apparently it's associated with anxiety..

Anxiety

An anxiety disorder differs from normal stress and anxiety. It is more severe and long-lasting, and interferes with work and relationships. Anxiety disorders include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder.

  • Psychological – Unrealistic and/or excessive fear and worry, mind racing or going blank, decrease concentration and memory, indecisiveness, irritability, impatience, anger, confusion, restlessness or feeling “on edge” or nervousness, tiredness, sleep disturbance, vivid dreams
  • Behavioral – Avoidance of situations, obsessive or compulsive behavior, distress in social situations, phobic behavior

I have generalized anxiety disorder and while I'm not anxious all the time, I do have trouble making decisions when I'm experiencing strong anxiety. I just feel like there's a mental block there.

I'm a very decisive person when I'm not anxious. I put great faith into my gut feelings, usually they're right.
