Anxiety problems?
Question:
Answers:
It could be anxiety disorder, however, it sounds like you have co-occurring Avoidant Personality Disorder, which could have developed as a coping mechanism for the anxiety.
Here are some tips for coping with Anxiety.
Coping with stress and anxiety includes the following steps:
* Laugh: Don't take your life so seriously. A sense of humor helps overcome worry by distracting the mind. Laughter may also produce endorphins, which help ease pain and offer a sense of relaxation and joy. Tell a joke, watch a comedy, and laugh when disaster strikes. You'll feel better with a smile on your face.
* Make plans: Worrying solves nothing. It cannot change situations or outcomes. The only way change comes about is through action. Instead of worrying, empower yourself by acting toward change. Worried about money? Create and implement a budget or seek professional financial counsel. Productivity creates an atmosphere of positive change that worry cannot achieve and makes overcoming anxiety possible.
* Herbs: There are several herbs one may use to help alleviate feelings of stress. Among them, Kava stands out. Kava enables the body to relax physically and mentally. Those with liver problems or Parkinson's disease should not use Kava. Adaptogenic herbs, such as the ginsengs and milk thistle are good herbs to consider. Adaptogens, or nerve tonics, help strengthen the body's resistance to stress. As always, follow the directions on the bottle and check with your doctor before beginning any herbal routine.
* Seek professional help: Having someone with whom you can discuss your worries may help lessen anxiety. A good counselor will listen attentively, enabling you to discover your underlying concerns. Together, you can create productive means of handling stress, so that you may heal emotionally and physically.
no just low self- esteem
you might. i cant really tell you if you do or not since i'm not a doctor. but i have anxiety problems and i have the same thing; i cannot be the leader of a group and if i am i freak out and try to get as much advice as possible, even when its the simplest task in the world. if i gets bad to the point of interfering with every day life you should see a specialist. that's what i did and trust me - i was embarrassed at first at age 12 going to a psychiatrist but it really honestly does help in the end. good luck!
I have the same thing, only milder. It isn't really anxiety, but it can be a contributor with other factors to cause 'social anxiety.' The best option would be to find someone to help you be assertive and take control. For some people pyschologists are the way to go, but for a lot of people friends and family can really help with this.
No, I think self esteem problems and confidence.
Those things can be worked on.
