Anxiety is a big issue of mine. I worry a lot, and I just can't help it. I worry about how I come across to people, whether I am saying the wrong thing, what people think of me. I worry and get anxious about things that are outside my comfort zone, I worry about change even if that change works out to be better for me in the long run. I build things up in my head to be much worse and more fearsome than they really are. Even though rationally I know in most cases I have nothing to worry about, that still doesn't stop me worrying. Sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off!
Panic attacks, not pleasant. Sometimes the worrying and anxiety becomes so intense that the outlet is a panic attack. I can get overwhelmed quite easily by new or stressful situations, which can bring on these attacks. So yes, it gets me nowhere I know, but I'd say I am a worrier. And I agree, once this behaviour is learned, it is so hard to break free from it.
