I am well known in my family and friends for being very indecisive. I always have been but as my anxiety became worse the decisions became even harder.
The indecisiveness took over my life. I was so worried about making the wrong decision and worrying about the outcome of the decision I didn’t want to make any.
I became so overwhelmed that I didn’t want to get out of bed. I didn’t want to decide what to wear, what to eat, what experiment to do, what social event to go to. It all was too much. I wanted someone else to make those decisions.
I have talked this week about how I became consumed by not wanting to make a mistake, how I knew I was frustrating family and friends with my indecisiveness and how I couldn’t explain the fear that came with it. The pandemic has made decision making harder as those decisions come with added consequences, but I have also talked about how I am overcoming these issues.
