Hi all,
I'm a 35 yo guy suffering from anxiety... and finding it difficult to write this message. On the outside everything appears to be good, I'm married (to a now suffering wife), decent job, nice house etc. On the inside I feel like a total mess.
I was diagnosed with anxiety in January and read the very good book Overcoming anxiety. I thought that I had overcome the problem, but it has re-surfaced twice in the last couple of months. I have requested an appointment for therapy and am back off to the docs on monday. I thought I'd give this site a try and chat with like minded people.
At times I feel completely worthless, other times frustrated at the thoughts in my head, but mainly that people are constantly judging me. I get obsessed with the smallest issues, and overthink most situations to the worst possible outcome. As a consequence I've become convinced that my wife doesn't want to be with me and avoid all socialisation at work. I just wish I could isolate the cause ... sure I'm not alone there.
Looking forward to some chatting
