I have extreme anxiety.
Examples: I do not like trees.
I do not like dogs.
I do not like clouds.
I do not like for it to be dark at night.
I do not like my house.
I do not like the color paint on my wall.
I do not like getting old.
I do not like people people that are

I guess that's it for now.
Oh, and the big one.
I do not like to be alone.
Which is most of the time.

Welcome to DS. We have a great little group of supporters here. Do you currently have a therapist or are you on any medication for your anxiety? If not I would recommend that you seek out a therapist or talk to your GP about getting on some meds or maybe even recommending a therapist for you. Have you tried any self soothing techniques when your anxiety starts? Good luck . I am here for you. Hugs to you.

Welcome to the group. Talking about your feelings, as you've done here, is a big step. It took me a long time to do it. It's good that you've taken that step.

It seems that your anxiety gets directed at many things. Do you have a sense of what the origin of it is?

When you say you don't like these things, what specifically do you feel about them? What are your thoughts about them.

I hope you're doing ok and that you'll stay active on this board.
