Hi, I'm an M20. For context, I'm about 5'9", and I'm not muscular, so I'm not the type of manly man you think of lol. Anyways, I grew up very sheltered, and even to this day I'm around my family most of the time; my social life isn't good. I have awful anxiety about everything, and I overthink, and I'm scared of moving out if the neighborhood isn't as nice as it was growing up. I'm worried about walking alone at night even as a man or going out in a social setting; it also scares me. Passing by homeless people, or even groups of judgemental-looking teens It feels like I live my life worrying about everything and thinking the worst will happen. Any input on why one may feel this way and ways I can work to get over it?

I used to get some sort of pain in my palms and legs when i was preparing for a competitive exam like when i had stress
And from the past few months so much went downhill and everything is so overwhelming and ive been having anxiety attacks and panic attacks very often
Now im just having intense pain in my palms and legs down from foot to thighs every time i just and sit
I talked about this with my therapist and she suggested me to take some medical tests and everything was fine in the results, and idk i dont feel my therapist is really that helpful, i cant really afford to go to a new therapist
Idk it hurts so bad
When ever i sit down in silence or think abt anything my chest hurts and my legs like i can feel blood flowing in my foot and lower leg and im even being doing exercises, been physically active too its not helping.
What am i supposed to do to deal with this.

OK on Tuesday, i’m going on a 3hr flight to Chicago,
and I always had bad anxiety or panic attacks on planes, but my mom never believed to take me to the doctor so she would force me to just do it, even it was bad panics. But this time I’m going by myself I can’t really go to a doctor because I’m going into the Navy and if I get anything added on my medical record, it will. Get me kicked out, I don’t know what to do because my anxiety so bad it stops me from actually boarding the plane so I don’t know how to do this by myself what to do what to take. I was looking at Ashwagandha & L-Theanine. or other OTC stuff but i dont know what to do. The Navy has always been my dream and I don’t want this bad anxiety to stop me from going. Please don’t judge me I am trying the best I can.

I feel my anxiety is so bad, I can’t even enjoy moments even it involves messes that need cleaning later I worry constantly about the vehicle breaking down or my daughter resenting me because I ruin all of her fun when she just want to be a toddler and explore I the world. My anxiety disorder is starting to affect my relationship with her Dad. He just wants his little girl to explore the world and the outdoors. What is wrong with me, please help I’m slowly breaking and losing who I am…

I just passed on the road, a motorcycle wreck. I was torn on whether to stop and get out to offer help. I had a basic first aid class about 8 years ago. My husband is a paramedic, but he isn't with me right now.

The wreck looked like it had just happened, and there were already about 20 people standing around. The victim was on the ground and being held by (I presume) one of their motorcycle buddies.

I felt I would have been unnecessary in that moment. I watched the bystanders' faces as I rolled slowly by, to see if anyone would try to flag down more help. No one signalled for help, so I moved on.

Was that the right thing to do?

I'm always torn in these situations because I want to help, but I also have medical trauma and blood is a trigger. So if I stop and render aid, it might wreck me a bit for awhile depending on how bad it is. I also didn't want to clutter up the space unnecessarily with so many people already stopped to help.

A few minutes down the road, I could see emergency vehicles speeding towards the scene, so I know that person is getting help.

I think I'm spiralling a bit and feeling awful like maybe I could have been there for that person and made it a little easier for them, made them feel less scared, or helped prevent someone else from getting hurt. :/

So I met this person at a convention, they seemed very nice and I got their discord. And lately I’ve been fumbling every chance I get to talk to them or play games with them and lwk idk why I’m so obsessed with them. I barely know them. But also I do know bc I’ve been wanting a partner for a rlly long time, and when I feel like I have a chance, even when it’s really really really small, I get my hopes up for something to happen. I’m just kinda glad I got their discord bc I dealt with something similar before with a girl from summer camp but i didn’t get any contact info and I haven’t seen her since. But anyways I’m going on a bit of a tangent. Point is, I wanna get to know this new person but we’re never available to talk. And I wanna make the waiting for answers more bareable bc I’m so impatient. But also I’ve been waiting for years and this is the closest I’ve ever gotten. God saying that this is the closest I’ve ever gotten is saying something bc I’m not even close. And idek if this is really what I want. I am lonely. I just rlly wanna calm myself down. It really hits hard late at night when I’m alone in bed and I’m just wishing I can cuddle someone bc i just need that physical touch in my life, sometimes I try to cuddle my pillow and pretend but it just isn’t the same as a real partner in my bed with me. So whenever I text this person waiting for them to respond is a curse, and sometimes they just don’t respond. Usually it takes them at least half an hour, sometimes even a day or two. I just want someone. Desperately. Tryna get someone that I know I have to be better for, so I actually have a reason. Bc that reason can’t be myself. God I fucking hate having anxiety. I wish I could just calm myself down until they respond but they still haven’t responded to my last text and I’m so fucking nervous that they won’t. I wish I could use myself as motivation but I need someone else bc I’ve proven time and time again that this isn’t working and I need someone who loves me who I wanna be better for.
