I'm in a psych class right now. I decided to do some research after how I freaked out about sending that message to the girl I like, who has been suffering from panic attacks. Non-specific anxiety fits with my tendency to over-think, be paranoid, and worry way to much about small stuff. I don't let it run my life though.
Irony 101: Guys try's to help girl he likes, because she suffers from panic disorder, and realizes hes as nuts as she is in the process.
I know I should seek help, but also that the odds of me actually going to a shrink are low.
College recently got a shrink on staff actually. Just feel like I can handle mild SAD/GAD myself.
Yes, I am an idiot.
Also to anyone concerned about the fact that I am studying to be the five-oh, I'm 90% sure a department shrink would find me fit for duty. For starters, I've never been bad enough that I needed professional help, or medication.
In any case, I have far less issue with anxiety than I used to.(Now if only I could keep from freaking out over the thought of communicating with this one girl. LOL.)
On this Thanksgiving day, I am thankful I have the clarity to realize I have issues, and the courage to be willing to face them head on.
