@Hiba111 I got diagnosed back early in college, but I've had anxiety since I was an early teen. I get paranoid of other people, isolate, freeze up, overthink, ball up on the floor, cry, have screaming fits in private, have a constant need to run away, have self-destructive habits that are bad attempts to regulate my emotions.

But also, for example: Today is a day off from my job. Unlike normal people, I wake up anxious about what I am supposed to do with myself as to not waste my time. I get more angry and anxious the more I procrastinate on finding the perfect activity. I made myself a to do list and I check items off, but the anxiety only rises as I keep thinking about this upcoming week and then I start catastrophizing about not getting my work done or getting sick or getting scammed so I go for some intense exercise to out run the anxiety, but I come back to the same decision paralysis, anxiety, and self-directed anger. I think I really just need to get out of the house lol and hope that I can keep myself calm enough to keep it together and make rational decisions in public. 

Praying that my new therapist is a good one and to find some meds soon.

So, you have anxiety?
