    Thumbs down Anxiety issues

    I tend to overthink about situations I can't control. I do not excel at school and I constantly worry about my grades. I've never made it on the dean's list and I'm okay with that. I just want to earn a B average in my classes but I don't. I was never an A student and never intended to be. I don't take my education seriously and wondering why I don't have a "real" job.

    I consider myself an introvert & perfectionist. I don't pursue guys unless they pursue me. I go on dates with guys, stop talking to them, and still continued to stalk their social media profiles to see if I made the right choice. Then, I would get upset why they didn't chose me. Instead they chose a girl with more meat and not as attractive as I am. Yes, every single one of them got into serious relationships and I am still single. I know I am shallow that I would based everything on "looks". But at the end of the day, everyone's shallow in some ways. I refuse to sleep around because I'm afraid of pregnancy and STDS. I want to meet my prince charming, fall in love, and live happily ever after. I doubt that will ever be me. I really wish chivalry isn't dead and guys would treat their girls like princesses.

    I also don't know what I want. I think I know but I don't. I rather stay single forever due to the fact that nothing lasts forever and I'm afraid of getting my heart broken. I've never had a serious relationship and I will be turning 26 in two months. I've been single majority of my life and is also super picky with guys. They have be decent looking, in good shape and middle class to upper class. I will not date a bum. I will also be fast to drop a guy that's abusive or not romantic enough. I've heard numerous stories how the girls at work would think it's okay that a "man" would put their hands on a woman.

    I'm constantly eating at work because I'm afraid I'll faint if my blood sugar drops too low. My family doctor thinks I should see a psychiatrist to see what's going on with me. I still haven't made the appointment yet. I don't think anything's wrong with me except I tend to overthink and constantly worrying about situations I shouldn't be worrying about. If it wasn't for school, errands and work, I would never made it out the house. I don't really meet anyone. I have multiple dating profiles but I don't have anyone to talk to.

    I have serious anxiety/depression issues myself. Always worrying, always envisioning the worst case scenario about everything. I'm tired all the time because the anxiety burns me up.

    Try meeting with the psychiatrist. I see one. It may be intimidating at first, but they may be able to help.

    I hope I get the courage to see one soon. I am a super sensitive person and everything makes my eyes balled up. Wow you sound just like me. Do you eat a lot too? I heard anxiety makes people skinny because it burns more energy. I also hate if the psychiatrist try to tell me what to do or prescribe me medications and it affects my body. But again, I haven't seen one yet so I wouldn't know!

    I almost had to leave a Safeway once because of a very heartfelt Lost Cat flyer on the bulletin board.

    At my worst, I had literally zero appetite and lost a dangerous amount of weight. Now, my appetite is very strong but I never gain weight. I do exercise a lot, which helps.

    If you don't like the first psychiatrist, you can try another. I've had some not-so-great ones. But give them a couple sessions before you decide if it's good fit. I just started with a new one, and still have some reservations. In the first session, she said something that really pissed me off. I was fuming all the way home, thinking I'd made a mistake. Then this little voice popped in my head: "Dude, she was right."

    So, she was telling me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. This is what you want to look for in a psychiatrist.

    Anxiety issues as well. Sucks! I intellectually know worrying solves nothing, yet I still do it. My therapist told me to write down a worry list have a worry time. Some problem are solvable and some you just have to let go.

    I hate having anxiety. I try to control it with meditation and self soothing. If I'm triggered then I'm going to be anxious for awhile and the only thing I can do to ride it out is to talk to someone.

    I completely understand. When I'm triggered and there's not much I can do except practice self-care and try not to make it worse.
