Question: Could i possibly have an anxiety disorder?
(Posted by: Duke Fangrrl_2010 on 2010-07-26 09:01:26)
I feel really nervous around people bcuz I'm afraid I'll do something to make them not like me anymore, or that I'll do something stupid...I also don't like talking on the phone with people for some reason, but I'm okay with talking to people via email or IM, and talking to them face to face...I also try to make sure I act normal so people won't think there's something wrong with me. What I really used to worry about were my grades in school....if I get even a B- minus my stepmom would carry on as if it were a tragedy and go on about how I have/ had a tutor in math and even that didn't help...and that of course just made me feel even more bad and stupid....One morning when I knew I was going to get a test back in school I was worried that I may have royally screwed it up, and I ended up passing out on the floor of my bedroom and very narrowly avoided whacking my head on my dresser. Most of the things I'm anxious about don't even turn out as badly as I anticipate, but I just can't stop being anxious...I also don't have any time to talk to a therapist and I don't want to be medicated...I just want a friend who'll listen to me and not judge; not medication...I really don't even have that many real friends, bcuz people make me nervous.they see how sweet, kind, and good- natured I am, and they take advantage of me..Aside from the people I IM with, my only friends right now are my stuffed animals...they're like my babies....my stepmom even floated the idea that I probably shouldn't even start college this fall, since I'm so badly- off mentally speaking.....she hasn't mentioned it since then, but it made me wonder....could somebody please help me? I should mention that for the most part I DO function well in the real world, and constructive advice/ help would be greatly appreciated in this situation. Thank you. |
