im constantly worrying about everything and when i worry i make my self sick im talking hyperventilation and dry heaving (in extreme situations) let me give you some examples every single time i hear my front or back door open i get so paranoid that one or both of my cats is gonna run away ( indoor cats only) so even if im about to fall asleep i franticly run around my house to look for them to make sure there in the house. the big freak outs come from work i think of my self as a very hard dedicated worker but every single time i make mistake or cut a corner or do something in a way that i think is wrong i think im gonna get fired this gets me so worked up i lose sleep over it. even just haveing regular conversations with some people i just stop talking or leave the room because im worried i said something akward and that everyones gonna be mad at me or something (i cant really explain that one but you know what i mean?) these arent the only things that make me have these feelings its just about everything i could go on and on for days about everything that makes me feel this way. can anybody relate to this or am i just crazy

( i just want to say sorry for any spelling errors and my punctuation and grammar)

    First, realize that everyone worries and has anxiety to at least some degree. I suggest you talk to a person who knows you well and will keep things confidential (like a mom, not a coworker!) and explain the situation so that they can see if its something more than average based on what they know about you.

    I worry a lot too. But worrying will only make you go wrinkly and grey soooooooner. So just relax and take things as they come. Besides how does worrying help? It doesn't :)

    It sounds like an anxiety disorder. Millions of people suffer from it in various forms. There is help. Talk to your physician. He or she may recommend a therapist and/or medication. I used to suffer from anxiety/panic attacks but have found relief from the constant worrying. Hope you do too.

    Google "anxiety disorders" for more info.

    Relax and don't stress yourself out. Just do what you have to do and don't focus on anything else. I know that it might happen, but on a low chance of possibility if you don't worry. If you do, then it may actually happen on a higher possibility.

    You are going to worry yourself into ulcers, cancer, heart problems and an early grave. It's great to do things well and have pride that it's done the right way, but all your worrying is very, very unhealthy.
    You absolutely must find some middle ground between caring and accepting that some things will possibly have unwanted outcomes.
