I worry too much. I obsess about what might happen and try to figure out all the ways things could pan out. I decide what to do in each scenario and then keep going with consequences of that scenario. I weave a spider web of scenarios and I cannot rest until I've charted every possibility, but of course I never do so I get anxious and then I start worrying about my anxiety ruining my life.

I try to work on it. My SSRI and SNRI take the edge off it and I'm able to stop it some of the time. I'm working on accepting my anxiety, without dwelling on my worries to try and reduce it. It's very difficult.

I worry a lot. Lets see, I worry about going out in public, talking to strangers, saying something that might offend someone, checking out in stores, groups of people walking in my direction, and looking stupid when I forget a word mid-sentance or stammer when I speak.

It's not like they could do much to me besides flame me, which still ultimately doesn't change anything in the long run.

I worry to the point of making myself ill
