The constant fear
Hello, I am 17 years old and I have been anxious all my life. I don't remember the last time I was able to live freely. The reason keeps changing but the feeling stays the same. Be it the fear of failing my exams, social interactions, not being able to do anything in life, the constant comparing, my choises being bad, everything makes it hard to live. Growing up I was a shy kid, I was always worried that I might do something wrong and will get scolded. Now I don't fear the scolding but the fear that something wrong might happen is still the same. I don't know how to regulate it when it happens because this affects my studies and my lifestyle in general. I try to distract myself but that only results in being distracted away from my studies. I know I need help but I don't know how to help myself.

I am really trying to find ways to calm myself. I know it will take time but I won't give up. Right now my way of coping is not healthy and I need to work on it. Thank you again for taking your time to reply.

Hi Guyana’s ,
I can definitely relate to this . We have all been conditioned to be nice and do the right thing always . Some can take the pressure some can’t . I am quite ahead in life but still I come to a stand still when something goes wrong or someone does like me . To the extend that I freeze and can’t remember the event even. I had difficulty remembering faces also because I was too focused on telling the right stuff the right word . You are on the right path because you aldready recognized the problem and starting to work on it . Now I do meditation on good days and also whim Hoffs method . When I do my metal clarity is so good . Try what works for you .
Yes it's true. I have difficulty remembering parts of my childhood.
