I get so anxious OVER EVERYTHING. I have a list of anxieties just off the top of my head:
- I think that anyone who looks at me for more than a second is going to kidnap me
- I feel like everyone is judging me
- I have a fear of getting lost
- If I use a public restroom I have a nagging feeling that I went into the wrong bathroom
- I have to have someone with to check things out/ order something
- I feel like any car that passes me will stop and someone will try to kidnap me
- I hold my breathe when a car goes by because I am afraid that I will die from breathing in the fumes
- I cannot eat if I pick up broken glass because no matter how many times I wash my hands I feel like there are still like glass shards on my fingers that will get on my food and cut my throat and stomach
- If I'm around chemicals/ cleaning products I fear that I will die from breathing near them/ getting it on my hands
- Darkness
- Load Noises
- Small Spaces
- Being in a crowd
- When it's really hot
- When it's really cold
- I have to have something to drink whenever I eat because if I don't then I physically cannot swallow my food for fear of choking
- My mind always make things seem way worse than they are
- Sometimes I physically cannot speak to people when I want to because I'm afraid of their reaction even when what I have to say isn't a big deal
- Sometimes I don't even know
- Being alone
- I worry that I don't have enough money to buy something even when I know I have more than enough
- When riding in a car I have a constant fear of hitting someone around us
I can't drink water from a water fountain because the taste of chlorine makes me think that I will somehow die from drinking it
Are my anxieties abnormal?
