Hello everyone

Hi everyone,

I feel stupid for being here. I am feeling really down lately and my anxiety is shooting through the roof. What makes me feel stupid is that it's all because a life changing event that some people would kill to have happen to them, but I can't stop thinking about the stress and the responsibilities that will come along with it. I was hoping maybe someone here has advice for a similar experience.

Thank you for reading.

DON'T FEEL STUPID ... GOOF ... everyone gets overwhelmed and stuck in that loop !! if you weren't up to the tasks and responsibilities, u wouldn't be there ??? OBVIOUSLY you HAVE THE SKILLS !!! try to break it down from such a large task, into smaller tasks or things you expect you will have to deal with ??? break those down and try to make a plan to deal with them ... ya know ... that whole no planning to fail, only failing to plan thing ?? you will see that it isn't so intimidating in that context ?? this is what you have wanted !!! RIGHT ?? RUN WITH IT !!! use your minds current racing state to your advantage !!! u think of things u never even considered about the subject !!! GOOD LUCK !!! CONGRATS !!! hope it helps

Some people think that only negative life experiences are stressful but the reality is that even what are generally considered positive experiences are stressful too. A new job, getting married, buying a house, having a baby, et cetera

I look forward to getting to know you more. I hope you find psychcentral helpful.
