Yeah not ideal just put this post just in wrong forum topic think aha..... . But anyway yeah just pretty anxious about, around the future and just with not getting any sort of "sense". That people will just not get me and think they do get me, just quite a weird and odd one aha..... . Definitely not people on here, just lived experiences but as for others in my own personal life- just seem to be forcing it. And forcing themselves on me just quite weird and odd aha......

Hi there,

 

Welcome back to the forum. 

 

Sorry to hear you are feeling anxious. Given the new year is around the corner, I think you are describing how lot of people are feeling right now. I myself feel quite anxious about the future, what challenges next year might bring, and so many uncertainties to come. However, it's very limited what we can control in our future. All we can do is make the right decisions and actions today and now. Then hope things work out as planned. 

 

People who are forcing themselves on your life, are they your friends or family? Often they have good intentions at heart but don't realise they are invading our space or giving us pain. I try to have a direct conversation in these situations, specially my mother who can have different opinions on what's good for me even though I'm way pass teenage years.

 

Hope the upcoming festivities bring you some cheer and feel control in life. 

Take care

Hello,

 

Really sorry to hear about what you are going through. No one knows what the future holds, so worrying about how situations will turn out is pretty normal and natural. So please don't feel alone. I am an overthinker too and I sometimes get very anxious about things.

 

If I may ask, do you have any friends or family who you trust and can talk to? I do understand it's not always easy to talk about what you're afraid of, but sometimes talking about these fears can help you feel less anxious.

 

Try not to spend a lot of time imagining worst-case scenarios, as this will only increase your anxiety. Always try and check your self-talk, the way you talk to yourself really matters.

It's natural to worry about bad things happening, but if you are spending too much time thinking about negative things and when worries starts to take over, then it stops you from enjoying the good things in life.

 

If your anxiety is starting to impact your day-to-day life and prevents you from enjoying the present, then it is better to seek professional support, talking to your GP or therapist can definitely help.

 

Please look after yourself, I am here to listen if you want to share more...

 

Take care

Hi Bluelily

 

Yeah I think just with AD HD symptoms and anxiety- get a bit of a weird, like almost strong sort of mix there. Where its not great but yeah oh well just is where its at  

Well I mean its not worst case scenarios, is just people disagreeing with me. That just make me think and probably, well definitely too much on decisions. But oh well what can do is where it's at and yeah just aside from that post there.

 

Well maybe until, and now just aside from that post there- just unwavering in what I'm doing really. In decisions, that sort of thing etc. but yeah seen a need to slow down. And have done that today and well will just see what happens with others
