Hey folks.
Just thought I'd pick your brains and wonder if anyone else has this. About 7 years ago, a few things started to stress me out and pretty quickly, I began to worry about everything. I didn't worry about getting a job, or my health or whatever, about small things. About how much it would cost to send a cd to a friend, how I go about it, what are the delivery options. I'd then worry about this for 5 or 10 minutes, even whilst I was doing something else, and then start 5 minutes later with something else, as silly as whether I should keep my deodrants on the drawer or in the drawer.
Anyway, it began to develop and the upshot was feeling that everything was too much and I took to my bed.
I've been fine for ages and after another period of stress this year, I've started to think this way again and am desperately trying to fight it. I'm seeing a therapist which is good and I'm beginning to understand why, that I think I have to do everything myself and that people will more often than not help you with a problem if you ask.
It's still very draining though. I'll see somebody on a mobile on the tv and start to think, "i've got a pay as you go mobile, what happens if i break down and i have no credit" and start to obsess, or hear someone organise something on the phone and start to wonder where they kept that number, and where they would write the time down and what happens if they lose the calender.... It's completely illogical!
The frustrating thing is I know the answer to all my worries and have been fine for the best part of 5 years, just living, dealing with problems and having a good time.
Sorry to ramble
