in two minds
Anxiety Support / by rambutan69

...See more It's recently hit me that it's likely that I have social anxiety because my nervousness about other people is badly affecting my decision making and grades. I panic at answering questions or participating in class. Whenever this happens it's like my mind is two people. One is logical. It says I'm not in danger, that no one will remember what I'm saying two days later. It's also kind of mean and tells me I'm being self-centred for thinking people care so much about every little thing I say and I'm being really stupid for having shaky hands and a racing heart over something so small. The other part just panics and loses it, running away with how badly this interaction could go wrong and how stupid I'd look. It gets upset at the mean things the logical part says and panic even more. Sometimes I agree with the logical part and other times I want to beg it to stop being so mean.
