Thank you so much Miki for the story, its great to know I'm not alone.

I definitely do put a lot of pressure on myself, i did even more so as a kid but I've gotten slightly better. Unfortunately its still effects

my life, so I need some support.

Hi Sanduru!

I think I have a personality similar to yours. I think I've been the "peacemaker" all my life and always avoided any conflict and tension. I have been struggling even just canceling on people when I didn't feel good (especially from panic attacks) and even if people will tell me things are fine, I always judged myself (judged that I did BAD). Every little thing was pressure to me, to be good. I'm still struggling with this. I think we tend to take full responsibility... false responsibility. My mother often asks me why I end up blaming only myself when there are other people involved. I was taking a walk today and a man was outside his house. I wanted to scream "Hello!" because it was such a wonderful day out, and I was actually happy. But then I heard my voice in my head "You're not like that... why are you trying to be something you are not?" It's a constant battle in my head. We all have anxiety and there is nothing wrong in getting help for it especially from this forum. Some people can deal with their anxiety on their own, but I can't so I'm here. Welcome and I hope this site helps you as much as it does for me.

Thank you for responding,

the mistake I take full responsibility for, and im just feeling anxiety because I am afraid of repercussions. I am probably just overreacting,

but that is how I have always been. If I make a mistake I worry so much, its very difficult for me to get over it.

Relationships are indeed tricky. This girl was the one person I was able to trust for the past 6 months and now not being able to talk to her

(we are trying to take time apart to rekindle things) is really giving me anxiety. I guess that is why I searched for an outlet for help, and came

here, because I've been burned with people sharing things that I confide in them and now that one person that I could trust isn't there. It

truly does cause me anxiety though. Is everything my fault? I can't stop thinking about it. I just started the program today, hopefully it will help.

I'm trying to pinpoint where I got this anxiety from, it really does effect my life; lately i've been stopping before I do something to think if it is

really worth it, or will it just cause me added stress.

Sanduru, Constructive comments can be positive. They help you achieve and move forward with knowledge of a better or proper way. Do take the time to stand up for yourself and be proud of your work. Apologize for the mistake and make note of it for next time. Relationships are tricky, your right! If you both have the feeling and want this, then work towards the common goal and be each other support.
We are here to help.

Hello,

I am writing to you all to ask you for a viewpoint. I have dealt with this all my life, but it has happened so often lately that I needed to seek help.

I have always had a problem with dealing with authority figures, from teachers to parents. I can't stand to be the center of attention

for a bad reason. I got in trouble in school one time and it took me months to get over the anxiety i felt from it. I can't say why I felt

that anxiety, was it the fear of letting people down? I'm not sure, all I know is that I struggled with that feeling you get in your gut when

something just isn't right.

When someone above me has essentially gotten mad at me for something, i instantly clam up, and get extremely cold, and shake.

Its very difficult to deal with, because when I am confronted I look like an idiot because I begin to shake and I can't respond. From

friends to girlfriends to parents, I feel this way.

I had gotten by with this for so long by just staying quiet and out of trouble. But right now, I guess maybe I set myself up for this by dating

someone where I volunteer. There is always a lot of gossip about everyone and its really hard for me to handle it. It caused our

relationship to take a downward turn and now we are trying to work things out but are barely speaking. As if a relationship issue isn't

enough for someone like me with a weak stomach, I hear things from people all the time. And then to top it off I made a mistake

while working and was reprimanded by a friend of mine (in a position of power). I have been so overcome with anxiety from these things happening that

I have spent the past 24 hours just in a knot, barely slept, and just laid in bed watching tv all day (a day off thankfully).

Its kind of hard for me to express myself, I have some trouble communicating, I never developed the skill cause I never told anyone

anything for such a long time growing up out of fear of being judged. So if you have trouble following, just ask me a question.

I came to this board cause I felt anxiety. Is this anxiety/panic? Or do I just need to suck it up? Some people would say this is not the

end of the world and I shouldn't care what people think, but its really bothering me.

Thanks for listening
