My pretty self destructive anxiety will not go away
since I was in elementary school I’ve had bad anxiety and I imagine it stems from my family being very degrading and hostile. The anxiety has caused a lot of isolation and loneliness ever since, but I’ve been very persistently working on it, self reflecting, forwarding my passions, and so on. To the point where I just can’t understand why I still have such intense anxiety everytime I talk, eat, walk or anything when someone is around I endlessly overthink and catastrophize to the point where almost everything I do around people is very inauthentic to myself and my will. My working theory is that I hate myself and am punishing myself for awful thoughts and actively choosing to do things I know are bad for me and don’t want to do Which is something I do a lot. I don’t know though I’m kinda lost.
