I Have Anxiety

I wake up in the middle of the night or way earlier than I wanted to because of anxiety. This morning it is anxiety about people in my life who are my friends but I am afraid they don't even like or respect me. I am also feeling anxious about achieving my goals. I go hard on myself about that stuff and feel like a failure if I dont accomplish enough in an amount of time. I feel like it's hard to talk deeply with anyone because I feel like I am burdening them. I have reached out to my therapist but no answer back yet. She might be on vacation though and I don't blame her. Just going through a rough mental health patch.

To be honest, I often feel like anxiety is all about your own mindset. Why would you be anxious about things that are out of your control? Such as other people. To be even more honest, people like people who are confident and fun to be around. If you would, for example, always ask them how they feel about you or if you aren't a burden, it would become a burden. In general, you can assume that when people spend time with you they usually like being around you. People nowadays are too selfish to spend time with someone they don't actually like.
As for your goals, you can only do your best to achieve them and some goals just take a lot of time and patience. If it's going in a positive direction, there is no need to stress about them :-)) I hope this may be somewhat helpful.

Thinking is overrated. Get up and do something, exercise, go for a walk, clean, anything physical. I learned long ago not to pay much attention to what I tell myself.
