Hi,
My name is Ashley and I'm a lad from lovely London, England.
A little bit of story about my Aniexty. I first noticed the feeling of aniexty when I was 15 but didn't know that it was Aniexty or even considered it as I was afraid to talk about it as many people might have a bad view like "get over it". It since then it gotten worse with a cocktail of depression and paranoia being combined with my aniexty within my teens years, which causes me to lose friends and not gaining enough social skills as I was a very shy teenager.
Now I am 23 and a couple months ago, my aniexty got the better of me which resulted in me quitting my job as I kept making mistakes which got my aniexty levels up which started a downward spira. This happened on a daily basis even to the point I couldn't sleep at night and dredged to go to work at the thought that I will do something wrong. Since then, I'm getting help and learning more about my Aniexty and accepting it as a part of myself.
I tend to get anxious about decisions that I make in numerous of scenarios whether it be at work or social situation. It has even cause self doubt in the decisions that I make or what I have just said. I tend to ask my self a lot of "What If" questions which causes it. I grew up with a Speech and Language disorder which I still have, which will add to the aniexty as I'm thinking most of the time if they understood me as I can speak very quickly or how I am perceived by others as I may not understand a instruction or question that someone has asked which is quite frequent.
Thanks
