Does anyone else have this - mind changing all the time/fear etc ?

[eggsontoast07]

I wonder if anyone can sympathise. I feel like. I have totally lost it. I.e. Cannot make decisions worry about things in about to do etc etc?

Yep... when depression and anxiety are bad even the smallest decisions can seem paralysing. (I hadn't had a real wobble in a while until I decided to dye my hair recently and couldn't choose which colour to use - it felt like the end of the world! ) It's a shit way to feel

I haven't forgotten this thread I will respond asap!

yep I'm always paranoid I've made the wrong decision

I'm like this too. Recently I spent months agonising over which next stage car seat to get for my youngest.

I also had a dilemma in the supermarket over choosing a hair dye colour. Same when looking for a new winter coat, I let dp talk me into getting a different coat to the one I originally wanted, I liked them both but I couldn't decide which one suited me best so I just went with his opinion.

It drives me up the wall. It's this horrible fear of making the wrong choice and regretting it. Definitely stems from anxiety/depression. 9 times out of 10 I am usually happy with the choice I eventually make but I still have to deliberate over a lot of things.

I find that setting myself a deadline/time limit can sometimes help. So if I'm looking at hair dyes, I say to myself "right, 10minutes to decide, if I haven't decided by then then tough" I usually end up coming out with something or if I'm really unsure nothing and sometimes that's the best choice too.

Yup. Trying very very hard to stop. It'seems hard though

With me it's things bigger and if I make the wrong choice I have to live with the concequences. I would never have a kid because I'm too unstable but I am grateful I am not maternal. No it is things like thinking things are a good idea being convinced they are then doing them and then there is that stabbed in the chest feeling of total dread
