Anxiety Things
You people with anxiety may relate to some/all of these:
Worrying about things that arenāt even happening yetĀ
Worrying about things that have already happened, even if they were ages ago
Forgetting things, even things that are important
Procrastinating
Avoiding social events but then hating yourself for it
Wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be lonelyĀ
Making one tiny mistake and then going over it again and againĀ
Napping to avoid worryingĀ
Struggling to sleep, despite being tired, because you canāt switch your mind off
Feeling physically and mentally drained from being anxious
Having to think and feel under pressure even on simple questions like what your name isĀ
Wanting to tell your friends about your anxiety, but not knowing how to or thinking that you will be a burden to them if you doĀ
Immediately thinking of excuses in your head as soon as someone invites you to something, even though you want to go and are happy that you got invited
Losing yourself in things (videos, fiction, etc.) to avoid thinking
Being anxious by thinking about anxietyĀ
Having to pretend youāre okay in public even if your heart is hammering in your chest and you feel like your suffocatingĀ
Wanting to spend time with your friends so badly, but feeling panicky just at the thought of it, and then feeling like a bad friendĀ
Thinking that no-one likes you and that maybe your friends secretly hate you
Getting frustrated when people say anxiety is a choice - because if I could flip a switch and turn anxiety off right now, donāt you think I would do it
