My Anxiety prevents me from doing things
Lately i've been planning stuff for my vacation because i thought that having a time for myself is going to help me overcome my anxiety and i wanted to be less dependent on things 'cause since i've been in a relationship i have never really went to places alone.
I told my boyfriend about this and he's very supportive about it. So i thought i was having a great start. My panic attacks have been lesser since last year, they're milder and more manageable (i used to go off full blast like having an asthma attack in a mall, my panic attacks scare people including my family). I'm not sure if i have social anxiety because the doctor told me it was more of a GAD. But lately i get that "impending doom" feeling when i'm in public with a huge crowd, like palpitations, dizziness, hand shaking, nausea. I don't mind going out if there's not much people. I hate large parties (even if it's with people i know). I've been looking for places and deals/tours and my head spins. Planning is overwhelming and i've been doing this for days and i feel like quitting, I'll just stay here at home and save money. My head is gonna explode. And it's making my boyfriend frustrated because i was just telling him things i want to do but i never get to do them because i end up scared. My decision making is also shit. I leave it up to him, he asks me things and encourages me to decide even on small things but i just say "whatever you want". So maybe it's affecting this whole planning thing too. I don't know what i'm saying anymore here but i want to get out of this. It has affected my life in a very significant way. School, friends, family, relationships, etc. and i can't let it control me, but how do i get out of it if it's holding me on my neck
