Getting past the anxiety?[The Pyscho Pysch Visit Edition!]

Post Reply New Topic

I've always had a huge problem dealing with it, and it really doesn't help that I get all worked up over the littlest of things. You name anything that doesn't involve breathing, eating, or sleeping (there have been a few exceptions), and I guarantee you that I've gone so far as to consider breaking an arm-or some other unfortunate limb-in order to avoid it. It can range from the first day of school to simply getting a haircut, and both drive me equally insane. I can't even say I know exactly what it is that I'm dreading/worried about, but it often ends in my having what my family basically sees as a 'Spilt milk meltdown'.

It all got much worse once I hit high school, but since graduating earlier this year I've generally been worry-free. At least until now. xD Obviously not being a big fan of change, it made my head spin a little when I was told that we're moving to a town that's a 3-4 hour drive away in less than three weeks time. And THEN I was told that the psychiatrist that my mom got my doctor to refer me to way back in February finally has time to see me (tried to wiggle out of that one with the whole moving thing, but she said I might as well go and see what she has to say >_>). Neither of these things bother me in principle...but I'm extremely nervous about meeting someone who's going to poke at my mind, and moving-yet again-to some place I'm not familiar with doesn't excite me very much.

What I really wanted to know before I launched myself into a mini-blog was: how the heck do I calm myself down? No one (including myself) has ever been able to just outright convince me that I'm worrying about nothing, though I usually realize this after it's all done and over with. I'd just like to be able to go a day without constantly wanting to go and hide in a box for the rest of my life. :3

For my grumblings on the visit to the Psychiatrist, see post (somewhere) below...
