Anxiety?

0

I’m not going to make out that i’ve got it when i’m unsure myself. But i stress myself out, i over think every situation and i have to run it through my head a couple of time before i do anything. I care what others think far to much, to the point where i literally will do everything in my power to stop myself getting embarrassed in public. I can’t even turn back if i’ve gone the wrong way, in fear that people will be watching me and thinking i’m, i don’t know, stupid or something. I’m a nervous person but no one really notices other than my family members. Even the simplest things i don’t want to be nervous about but i am. On top of that, i have essential tremor, so my hands shake pretty much all of the time. My doctor said that it could be due to or worsened because of anxiety, but we never discussed the possibility of me having it.
I don’t know whether i have anxiety or not? i don’t exactly want to self diagnose myself with it but i’m pretty sure what goes on in my head isn’t all that normal.

It's good that you don't want to self-diagnose, and we certainly can't diagnose you, so if you want to find out for sure, you should probably ask your doctor about it. But whether you technically have anxiety or not, it doesn't change how you feel in and about the world. The validity of the symptoms don't depend on the diagnosis. So even if you don't get diagnosed, it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into some way to deal with the excess worry.
