Not quite sure in which section of the forum this fits, but I've just gone for the General section. I've started to become a bit frustrated with myself recently, as I am actually realising that I'm just exchanging one problem for another (I guess the first step is admitting it!). I don't want to go into tonnes of detail, but there was something that was on my mind and worrying me for quite a long time, then after realising I was being irrational and actually knowing that my worry was unfounded, I let that one go and it felt great! But then, something else came up concerning work. That plagued me for some weeks and then got sorted out. I let that one go and it felt great again. Then I started to become concerned with an aspect of my health and that had me anxious for some weeks. But the symptoms I had then vanished-so I dropped that one as well. The other day I met some people by chance I used to know (they were vague friends of mine about 14 years ago), but I didn't get on very well with some of THEIR friends and way back then they didn't like me very much (but we were pretty much kids-12/13). I don't even know whether they are still in touch with the others, but after I chatted to them for a short while, I later became obsessed with this thought that because I spoke to these people, they would maybe mention it to the others I didn't like and that would spark them off to maybe try to contact me or something and I wouldn't neccessarily want that! Writing this, it actually even all seems so stupid and irrational to me, but somehow I just seem to "like" creating one problem after another. I can't seem to just be happy that all is well and fine-there always has to be something to obsess over, no matter how irrational and far fetched it is! Does anyone agree with this as well and/or does anyone sometimes know that they're being irrational, but still can't shake it?? Thanks. :)
