>>21794120thats rough bro, I had bad anxiety kinda like what you have, minus the scratching and facial stuff. Then I stopped letting the perception of other people waste mental energy, I just stopped giving a shit about what other people thought, like what are they gonna do? think harder about me? In fact, if you came out and were honest to a trusted co-worker, he could correct the record and you'd have everyone pulling for ya.
but mainly just stop letting imaginary situations ruin your day. We live in a judgmental society, sure, but real people that don't judge are out there, like me. I would see ya and think, "hey that homie is laser focused on his work, awesome" at most, but on average I just don't think anything at all about anyone else, I'm too busy with my own shit. And anyone that is judgmental doesn't have anything else going on in their life and you don't want to hang around those types, they probably just go home and smoke weed and watch cartoons everyday.
but most of all, OTHER PEOPLES THOUGHTS ARE HIDDEN FROM YOU AND EVERYONE IS TOO CHICKENSHIT SCARED TO SAY MOST OF THEIR THOUGHTS ALOUD SO STOP LETTING THEIR IMAGINED THOUGHTS RUIN YOUR WONDERFUL LIFE.
you got this brother, you get through this and you'll be invincible, I wish I could be there to give you a hug.
