I Have Anxiety

I know what I want to say but it takes me hours to write a quick paragraph story. I have to scrutinize it and think about what others might think or how they might comment. Is it too formal, informal, politically correct... I read and reread and proofread and by the time I submit it I wonder if it was even worth doing. I'm like that in so many other things in life too. Anxiety is terrible.

Anxiety is fear of the future.

What you're describing sounds like basically stuck in the anal phase of development.

How was your toilet training?

See I was frightened to say that lol even though it's way out there and psychobabble by most peoples standards.

@Paliglass I think we agree, the fear here is of the future perception of what I have written. As for psychosocial stages of development, I don't know much but its not really psychobabble, it has its historic value.
