I've been avoiding all sorts of situations since I was maybe 10 years old. It wasn't until I was almost 18 that I REALLY understood how much it restricted me. But even then I didn't take much action, and know when I find it hard to find a new job (finished college, moved to new town, no friends, nothing to do etc) I just have to try something otherwise I will end up depressed and (even more) alone.
I do worry about the fact that I've been behaving like this for over 10 years = how do you reprogram yourself when there's so much to reprogram.
Either way, I hope TPC will help me in the right direction! :)
I'm in the same situation, it took me a long time to identify that it even was a negative behavior! I guess it would have been so much easier to "correct" if we had understood it as children. But we shall overcome :)
You should really try to do some exercise, even if its only running up and down some stairs a couple of times. I usally feel that I don't know what causes my anxiety, but what is really hard is to stop all those thoughts that it triggers. But I run and the moore tired I become the moore I need to concentrate of getting my feet of the ground instead of getting deeper inside my own head.
