Hi,
Usually when I post I feel the need to vent and really let it out.
Not now but I feel it's important for me not to lose sight of what's
going on with mewsr
When I compare my issues with some of the others I read about
here,
my problems seem relatively small. But, if something is compromising
me to have the life I want, than I need to make changes.
One of my major issues is feeling that I will lose control. As I
previously mentioned the big one for me is when feeling stressed
I get tight, and feel stiff(especially in my legs), and feel frozen!
It's like I have this nice car, but just can't start it.
Then I imagine how this will effect me in pressure situations like
work or athletics. You know "the what it's". It's not the actual
event I'm anxious about
but the feeling I will tighten up.
( In the past it's has happened).
What made me think of this is yesterday I had to go to traffic court
and when had to go in front of judge, felt like this after for awhile.
That got me thinking how can I ever accomplish anything if I get
all frazzled like that?
I know these thoughts are unreasonable, but am trying to get past
these feelings I get (stiff, self conscious, embarrassment, judged).
I have gotten better but still fear them. Especially, since I'm
still looking for work and wonder what will happen when I start.
I do have a healthy ego and my intelligence is telling me to not
dwell on it , it's just anxiety -do what you know you can do
and shine.
Does anyone out there ever experience these feelings of tightening
up , even in things that you know you can do and have done before?
If so what did you do? This has nothing to do with facing my fear
cause it could be doing something I have done before. It's more
the fear of embarrassment and "freezing up".
