Decision making!

[Paniclissx]

Does anyone else find it really hard to make a decision with their anxiety? I'm sat here in bed thinking do I go downstairs or do I stay here? Do I watch tv or dont I? It drives me insane!! Is it part of anxiety or sonething else? I'm finding it so hard to make simple decisions! xx

I am the same sometimes, when I'm on edge I can't make a clear decision.

Hi

When I had CBT a few years ago, my counsellor said that if you have a thought to "possibly" want to do something, then you should do it there and then.

That probably doesnt always help with should I shant I situation but, if its a case of doing something or not, then try and shut out the "shant" and go for it.

Hope that makes sense.

It does help me with a bit more of positive mind set.

Thankyou for your replies, I'm not even that anxious I just can't make a decision! It's worrying me that there's sonething wrong with me :/ it's awful xx

a quick and easy tip is to make a list the night before

i) get up, washed and dressed
ii) go downstairs, watch TV and decide what to do
iii) make breakfast, tidy up

and that way, if you get stuck, you can fall back on your instruction set

i am the worlds worse at making decisions,typical Libran.....coupled with anxiety and panic attacks makes for a very uncomfortable way of living!!! gets on my nerves!! I get so annoyed with myself,cant even make the simplest of decisions sometimes!!!
