I’m constantly struggling and sweating the small stuff and it’s ruining my life. I can see what I’m doing, and I recognise that I make a mountain out of a molehill, then I reflect back on my behaviour and worry about that and what people must think.
I’ve received hypnotherapy, counselling and CBT but it hasn’t helped, if anything I’ve got worse.
My family are tired of it, I’m constantly being told to, ‘relax, calm down, stop worrying, stop stressing etc etc. I go over things I’ve said to people, worrying I might have offended them, or spoken out of turn. I analyse everything everyone says and often think people have it in for me, I’m always surprised when someone appears to like me, and then wonder if they just pretend to like me.
I just want to be normal!
