this is so minor and silly, but I put new shoelaces in my shoes and I'm worried today something will go wrong such as them breaking or not keeping my shoes on.

I associate this with childhood when I had no one to really talk to when I was scared. I just had to paste on a smile and act like things were OK, even when they weren't. Some bad things happened to me as a child.

Anyway, I'm glad at least I know to come share on here and get some feedback!

Thanks, Healing Well!

Love,

Hi

Don't worry it's not minor or silly feel free to post anything you like on the forum we are here to offer you support. A lot of anxiety can be related back to childhood experiences so it is good that you recognise that and feel able to talk about it.

How are you feeling now? Anxiety can work in mysterious ways and life can feel like being on a roller coaster with lots of up's and down's. There are a lot of things which can be done to help reduce your anxiety one of them being coming here and speaking with others who can relate to what you are going through. Other ways are taking medication or doing some talking therapies such as CBT.

Try and stay in the moment the best you can.

If it's of concern to YOU, then it is NOT silly!
I have a HUGE phobia of tree frogs! I do not know why I am afraid of them as I was never traumatized by one, but just the idea of one jumping on me freaks me out! And the bigger the frog, the bigger my fear!!! I will literally go running and CRYING if one starts to jump or move! UGH!!! I do not even like to see pictures of them, but I can look at them if necessary. But they're so ugly and creepy!!!
Silly??? Not to ME!!!
HUGS!
