    I literally worry about worrying, I psychoanalyse every last tiny little detail, and worry about it all, I feel physically sick worrying about social situations before I even get anywhere, I worry about just leaving my house, I go round and round in circles stressing about any possible dramas or confrontations that some times are completely non existent, I worry about people not liking me, or them picking up on my awkwardness. Although I struggle with many other problems too that make my life so hard, I think if I could stop worrying so much, my life would be more manageable or bearable. I wish my brain would just shut up! I become completely exhausted from all the over thinking

    It's so tough to live with, I'm sorry you suffer all those worries.

    I'm terrible if I can cancel something I will to get rid of the worry that way. I wss worse in childhood but even now I'll avoid appointments of any kind etc unless it's literally potentially dangerous not to.

    I used to worry about people liking me but these days I'm not concerned either way, we are who we are and being a good honest true self is what counts.

    Also I have never ever responded to any medication whatsoever for anxiety or depression which doesn't help.

    @Nightcity thank you, yeah I am the same with any psychotropic medications nothing works, I have tried every SSRI, SNRI and several antipsychotics and mood stabilisers and loads of combinations of different ones together at different times, yet only a few helped ease my problems by making me completely numb but the effects never lasted long even with Dr constantly increasing the dose over time, after a while I would be told to gradually come off the tablets so they done more harm than good. Last year I was told that I am treatment resistant and the mental health team refused to prescribe me anything other than lorazepam and diazepam

    @Strawberry1 you are not intruding, I am happy to talk to you ❤️ it’s nice that we can openly talk about our worries and struggles on this forum, I have found these conversations so helpful and comforting, it’s nice to have people to talk with that understand and can offer insight or advice, or even tips with coping.

    well you are!

    is it other people making you feel that way?

    I always feel like that @Strawberry1 anything I do is always wrong, it’s an awful way to think of yourself, I wish you would be kinder to yourself ❤️ but at the same time I know how hard it is to break the cycle of constantly putting yourself down and being so hard on yourself, for me it’s one of the hardest habits to break is hating myself and being constantly negative about myself

    bless you both. I can be the sane usually it's others comments that make me that way.
