You tell yourself to “stop worrying,” ”just relax,” or “think positive,” but it’s not that simple.
You try to focus on the present, but your mind keeps drifting to the future. What if I fail? What if I disappoint everyone? What if…It’s a cruel, unrelenting cycle.
The pressure to do everything right and perfect cause you to feel stressed and overwhelmed. Your body feels tense and exhausted; you want to rest but your mind won’t shut off. You begin to obsess over every detail. Even when you receive praise for your work, you can’t help but feel like it’s not good enough. But what is enough?
Avoidance and distractions give you temporary escape from uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In front of people you smile, you nod, you pretend like everything is okay, hoping that no one will see through what is hiding underneath. You realize that rumination and avoidance behaviors serve nothing but keep you stagnant.
Finally, you decide that enough is enough. You can’t keep living like this. You should muster up the courage to seek help with a therapist at Star Point Counseling Center in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL. It’s nerve-wracking, but you know it’s the right thing to do.
