Hi all.
I'm a 31 year old male. I've had anxiety, low self esteem which leads to stress and depression for a long time now.
It's mainly work related - I'm fine in social situations, stuff like that. It's usually down to responsibility, stuff I don't know, tasks I'm unsure of - I fall to pieces, think about it constantly which then leads to me thinking about bad stuff, like the past, bad experiences, things like that.
On the outside I'm fairly confident. I'm going to be best man 3 times, I love a laugh. But on the inside I'm a mess. I recently was seeing a girl that made me feel great - when I jumped in too quickly and realised it wasn't going to happen I got the common feeling of rejection which brought on a lot of anxiety which has affected everything this last couple of months.
I wake up a zombie, not myself, cloudy head - sometimes I can go a day at work and not remember anything I've done by the evening. I'm hardly successful, living at a parents due to lack of money and splitting with my ex late last year.
I've always tried to avoid responsibility, challenges etc - all that scares me - though I do have it inside me, I know there is a great guy that could be a successful if I just slowed down, took my time, woke up, be positive - I just find it very difficult.
I think that talking about it with like minded people will help. I'm also going for hypnotherapy tomorrow - I think that'll really help.
Looking forward to meeting new people!
