Do you have anxiety in your life?

My anxieties aren't really like yours. I'm anxious in just the way that i am afraid of what the future might bring me once i am really in a workplace. At this moment, i dont think my job is a "real job" i am getting paid for it, but I'm working for my mom so. The environment is different from when i actually start working on my own. I'm also anxious about what is going to mhappen to my life next, I'm not even prepared or anything,

I 'try not to think about it' (i.e. think of other things, not "sitting there, thinking 'okay, DON'T think about your anxiety! '"), but I guess my anxiety comes from obviously not-being the best option for someone to do what I'm doing or -about to do. Especially with women ... when a woman's hugging on me, but I don't deserve it as much as the others around whom she could hug on just as well (and probably with more reward for her from them)

I was always shy from when I was younger and I guess you can consider it to be social anxiety. I'm now agoraphobic after I've developed generalized anxiety disorder from my marriage, so I don't really go out or have a social life either. If I stay indoors, I don't get as anxious but when I did I would just be anxious being out. Lately, I've been practicing and exposing myself that I was doing pretty good but I still have really bad days when I get a really bad panic attack. I'm going to see a therapist next month... so we'll see how it goes. Now that I'm agoraphobic, in another sense, I do a lot of other things I used to never do like study, make things, and appreciate things in my life.

I have anxiety in life but not because of my body. My anxiety is the future of my kid where to get more money to provide expenses of his daily allowances. It's hard to make some money and my earnings online is not just as easy as having a salary every month...

hi celticeagle I dont have social anxiety but right now I am battling with anxieties too. Its anxieties about situations in my life which are troubling me right now where I cant estimate the outcome. So far I have been the strong one who would not even recognize anxieties but say, oh well where are the next problems to tackle and its a completely new situation for me.

Anxiety is terrible, it makes me feel like I cannot even function. When I quit smoking I had terrible anxiety. I was literally scared with no reason to be. I'd even keep telling myself i shouldn't be panicking but that did not help at all. I just had to lay on my bed in the dark and take deep breaths.

Personally I know I have a lot of Social anxiety and many times that keeps me from being able to reach out and talk with others like I would want too. There is always the Fear of rejection and people thinking I am not worth wanting to be around, or thinking I am stuck up. Many times though it does get the Better of me and makes me want to disappear or wish it was them going thru the things I am dealing and fighting with.

I do have some anxiety issues in my life. But I've learned how to deal with them and manage them. I definitely am glad that I've got it under control for the most part. I still have some issues with it, but I'm working on it.

i sure do. im the same way. i used to meet and greet and get aquinted with everyone. its the reason yrs. ago one of my cousins ask me and my son to move with her and stay. im so different these days. i dont like to get out of the house even for fear of having an attack of my dizziness or something going wrong with me and being in public or at someones house and cause a problem.

There is no age limit to get anxiety. It is a different emotion. We don't know that we are getting anxiety. To know our interesting thing or to know about our loved ones, we get anxiety. I used to get anxiety upto few years back. But now i am fully stable. I am giving full importance to be patience. Being patience is a great thing by this we will live peacefully.

i have also but i know how to change and divert my mind. Coz if i keep on focusing on my anxiety it will ruin my day and my mood. So divert do things that will distruct on what trigger it..

Of course, everyone has anxiety and stress in their daily life. For me, extremly, I am a sensitive person which means I can be easily influenced by people's words and actions and then triggered anxiety. I force myself to get up early to study and it becomes quite natural for my to get up on time everyday, dont'even have to use a alarm clock. Well, sometimes I feel sad for not being able to sleep late...But you know what, the fact is that Im lazy so I usually procrastinate troubles that have been done which causes more anxiety. And I still can't find the solution to it. My friend suggested me to find another life principle. I don't often show it, so most people think Im a have-no-worry happy person. Sometimes Im over perky in front of person, but I don't think I pretend it, just need a different way out.

evrybody is same as u...in a less or far more greater manner...i also hav the experice of urs and till this time didn't managed to confrnt it...but we cnt escape from this world bcz of this..try and try..

I also have some anxiety I guess it's only natural, but how where the handle yahh of course with the confidence we do not need to be ashamed will it because I think no man is so very perfect in the world in. confidence is important....^___^

Thankfully, i don't have alot of anxiety in my life anymore & that's great. I sure use to but glad that has passed.

I can honestly say that I myself have developed the same type of anxiety due to the same exact reason.. "weight gain". I avoid any type of event to where it could be possible that I may cross paths with someone I knew in highschool or during those years. I am the same way I have a great fear that because of all the weight gain they will look at me different. I used to be very social throughout middle school and the begining of highschool but after the sudden weight gain due to antidepressants and anticonvulsion medication I was taking I was literally trying to avoid all social events or encounters so that I would not have to deal with all the bad vibes and weird looks. After I had my daughter I was even more antisocial than ever!! I have had anxiety for years since I was a child and the way i control it now is by simply taking natural GABA (600 mg) which is the component needed to have my anxiety controlled through my nervous system without having to take all of the crazy medications they have given me in the past just CALM is the way I am after intaking it.

Thanks for sharing, yes i do have my friend. Anxiety, stress, sadness are part of our life just like happiness and contentment lol. HAPPY VALENTINE DAY.

Yes, i've had some anxiety, One of which is the emotion of anger. Someone who is angry it is often difficult to control his senses. But after closer to God, I became more able to control the emotion of anger to something positive, not the emotion of anger to something negative. God Bless You :D

I dealt with anxiety until I got the a-ha moment. This moment came when I truly realized and believed that I cannot control even half the things that my anxieties and fears made me expect myself to be able to control. You cannot control who you please or displease, who you make happy or unhappy, etc. These things would require you to be able to control other people's feelings and perceptions and that is not possible! The only person you can control is you. You have to accept yourself. You have to validate yourself. You have to approve of yourself. Until you do those things, you will always fear other people's perception of you. Knowing what I like about myself helped a lot. At first, it was almost impossible to make a list of things I like about myself. Now, I can tell you ten things right off the bat. I like that I wear cartoon socks, laugh heartily, say "goodness" after laughing, try new things, make up songs, am willing to laugh, sing into hairbrushes, etc etc. You get the point. Knowing and developing my own interests led me to meet people with the same interests. When you can make friends you are compatible with, it makes social situations less stressful. Until you get a handle on your anxiety, take a friend along. A good, supportive friend. Not the kind that will ditch you for "cooler" friends or compete with you. If you have bad friends, let them go. You'll find that they were contributing to the problem. A good friend lets you be you. There is only one you in the whole universe. ONE. You are valuable and worthy of approval simply because you are who you are. You don't need to seek it out.

With time, I've learned how to live with my social anxiety, how to not let it ruin my life, and turns out that if you know how to handle it, social anxiety makes you have a new perspective of the world; you become more careful with the choices you make, you don't make a fool of yourself, because you're always aware of what the risks you're willing to take, this fear of the unknown can make you always choose for the best for your life.
