How to stop anxious and insecure thoughts from taking over your mind?

I will get so worked up, even to the point of a full blown anxiety attack over small things.

For example, today I went shopping, thinking I could transfer some money from another account. The problem is, I couldn't get a hold of my dad, who has the account details, to transfer the money. So I had no money and no way home from work. I had to walk. I FREAKED out. Looking back, it was silly, but it felt really bad then.

Also, I get really insecure in relationships over trivial things, like him hearting another girls post of something stupid like that.

To me it sounds like you could stand to take steps to be more self sufficient and avoid situations like that in the future.

As for your issues with relationships I don't have any advice other than to take steps to make yourself feel more secure and independent as an adult. You're at a very awkward age.

@Doomflower Yeah, mid 20's is a very difficult time. Haha They say that you are most awkward a teen, but I find the 20's just as challenging.
The REASON I gave him the details was to be more self sufficient. It was to safe and to avoid me being able to dip into it.

As for relationships, so many people mess around these days. Especially people my age, so it's hard to trust fully. But I have expressed this with the guy I'm seeing and he is still sticking around. Surely if he was messing around, he would have run for the hills as soon as I brought it up, right?

@lauriethecolourful some guys will put up with a lot of crazy from a girl they find attractive.

@Doomflower Hahahaha. I see, but I'm not super attractive. Not enough to stick around after some of the things I brought up to him. I hope it's because he sees more potential in me.
