Hi- new to the community

I'm ALWAYS worrying, about school, home life, and a lot of time about the future. And a lot of that is irrational (robots are going to take over everyone's jobs, there will be a nuclear war that destroys the planet, I'll be jobless and starving, I'll be old, sick and alone, etc) I've been like this ever since I was a kid. I plan things out all the time to, I'll go through scenarios of what my life will be like based on certain decisions over and over again. I also get jealous super easily, I guess I have a low self-esteem so, I'm always nervous people will leave me. And, one final thing, I tend to get obsessed with things easily, it'll be basically ALL i think about for months... not sure if all of this falls under anxiety...

Well at least your honest with yourself, It sure sounds like you have a fair deral of personal anxieties, Its harder when your younger, I'm 38 now and i had a hell of a time when i was 15,16,17,18,19.. and it helps to get a understanding of your exsperiences as early as possible, and a trusting psychologist or good-friend. Keep well.

Oh my gosh..I feel the EXACT same way as you..I always see the news or something and wonder things like that..I saw this Internet article about Dr's one day having an MRI machine that could possibly read people's thoughts and that's all it took for me..I worried myself sick thinking I'm never going to have privacy of even my own thoughts one day..then I also worry about diseases that I'm most likely to not even get..I worry about so many irrational things so you are definitely not the only one

Welcome!!I share a lot of your same fears...And it's awful: as irrational as we KNOW our fears to be, that doesn't make them any less terrifying and upsetting to have to bear!
I'm glad you're here.

I had to laugh reading this post because I could have written it myself. I cant stop my mind from worrying about things I have no control over. I woke up at 3:00 this morning worried that the economy is going to collapse and I will lose my job and then I will lose my house and then I will be homeless and then etc, etc, etc. I always think of the worst case scenario and I really beleive the worst case scenario is going to happen and soon. So you are not alone in your thinking, I am exactly the same way.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
