What would you call somebody with a ton of random insecurities, who takes themselves too seriously, and has essentially created a lot of anxiety for themselves? I've been told numerous times that I'm totally fine, but I'm too riddled with fears and anxieties to fully believe that... I can make it through the everyday shit like everyone else but I feel like I'm hanging by a thin thread. If anyone has any info on this, I'd appreciate it a ton.
I have no professional training, but I am thinking that most people would say that you are suffering from a low self-esteem. I personally feel, having a low self esteem either creates or intensifies things like anxiety/ depression/ co-dependency/ narcissism/ etc.
It's a crappy feeling though, huh? I know. I've been there. I have a thread going where I asked some of the members how to deal with stress because I am tired of feeling that feeling and I know some of it, probably most of it, stems from some type of insecurity. My bf will continually say to me, you need to relax. Maybe that thread will shed some light and offer some suggestions to you. Good luck! eace:
My best guess would be that the description you've provided - defines most teen agers. This is why we should NEVER attempt to diagnose someone in their teens with a mental illness. What's your family situation like ?
