Worrying...

**Xpertlefty13** · Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:26 am Post subject: Worrying...

Similar to the sleep thread...

I have this odd obsession of worrying about things that aren't even there. Two days ago, the girl I'm dating was saying all these great things about me... yesterday, she found out someone close to her was diagnosed with ALS. Ever since, she's just been... depressed...ish. But, knowing me, I immediately assume something is wrong with our relationship. In school, when the teacher announces the lowest and highest grade on a test, I have it set in my mind that I'm one of those low grades, and I prepare for my punishment before I know it will come. I plan out situations that I know are going to happen, but they always deviate from my plan anyway, which makes it a waste of time.

I always expect the worst, even though it rarely comes. I learn from my mistakes in everything that I do, except for this. I'm actually hoping someone has some answers this time, but I'm also interested if anyone else has this addiction to being worried.

Quite honestly, I just can't loosen up. I'm uptight about everything, and it's destroying me. No one has been able to help me before... might as well try here.

EDIT: Well, I guess I should edit in that this typically happens more with relationship "problems" (that I imagine) and I'm about ready to die over this one.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Sometimes when I'm going somewhere I always get that feeling that maybe I'm missing something and I always double check.I guess it's just a natural thing or whatever.

This happened so badly to me on a test today. We needed to know the locations and capitals of all Middle East countries, so I took the test and hand it in. Then after I hand it in, I get this sudden fear that I forgot to write down one of the capitals, so I'm freaking about it through the whole class, but then after class I stay after and ask the teacher if I forgot to put down a capital, and he said I didn't, which was a major relief. If I hadn't asked him, I would have been fretting over that until the day I got that test back.

I'm the exactttttttttttt same way Lefty.

Like if a close friend doesn't talk to me for a couple days, I start thinking that they don't like me anymore or whatever.

And if anybody knows about the drama that went on in my accomplishments thread on the RB side, I was basically panicking about that nonstop until it was resolved. I just kept thinking that everyone was just going to hate or reject me for being trans. And of course, I'm still completely paranoid about every new person that I tell that too.

I worry almost everyday about school: Was there homework? What lessons have I got today? What is going to happen in the future? And I'm also worried EVERYTIME I go back to school after holidays, I don't know why, I just think that the teachers are going to beat me or something

. The most annoying thing I do is check my schoolbag. A lot of the time, I don't even open my schoolbag when I come back after school, but in the morning I'll check to see if I have all my books, then when I close my front door to go to school again, check my bag AGAIN to make sure. It's reaaallly annoying.

Another thing I've made a habit of is checking my desk when I leave a classroom, like I will forget something everytime, even when my books and equipment aren't needed.

I think that most people in the world have this to some extect.

Me, whenever I walk alone (sometimes even with friends) I always look behind be to check for muggers, any loud noise leaves me in fits.
If I see someone who I feel looks suspicious ( they may look normal to most) I cross the road to avoid them as I think that they are going to attack me.

I have only been mugged once, and was left without a scratch just missing some belongings but my head is fucked when it comes to walking alone.

But I manage.

When you worry about a subject, just try to chill out and forget the problems/stress of your day. Think positive instead of negative, because you can't let the litttle things in life get the best of you. If they do, then your life could be a living hell and you get stressed A LOT.

I had a presentation for my ToK class, I was nervous as fuck >_>. Speaking in front of the class is the only thing that makes me nervous, because it may be talking in front of my peers, but I don't completely know all of them.

I know it's human nature to worry, but it's at the point where it's ripping me apart, and having a large effect on my everyday life.

Also, Ealasaid, I know OCD runs in the family (even if it isn't a genetic trait, idk lol) so that's it. Should have thought of it :3
