So fellow girls I need some advice or ideas maybe? My therapist said I need to come up with a list of short term goals for myself because I only have long term ones like a degree- any ideas? The only one I have is not biting my nails but I need more! 1/2

I also have really bad anxiety if that helps with any ideas- I have some but I’m too embarrassed to say them to her because they seem stupid like trying to get over some things in my life that I shouldn’t be able to get over on my own idk- so anyone have ideas? Could be anything she said I’m just having a hard time thinking of some 2/2

I used to not be able to order for myself in restaurants, requiring one of my parents to do so. I also couldn’t talk to a group of more than 3 other people. I don’t know how bad your anxiety was but I slowly pushed through those.

I’m so proud of you! I used to have a hard time with that, now my anxiety is mostly based around my family and problems there and feeling the need to fix everything myself and ocd issues, so maybe my version could be like somehow not feeling like I need to fix everyone else’s problems? Idk how I’d do that tho maybe that’s where my therapist could help lmao

Oh I absolutely understand where you are coming from! Overtime I’ve learned that I cannot fix someone’s problems if I myself am not doing well. Maybe try and focus on yourself, things that make you feel good. Helping others feels great and it’s super rewarding, but you need to remember to care for yourself.

Everytime anyone fights or gets frustrated with anyone else even when I’m not involved I think I have to fix it which is problematic for many reasons, I’ve always felt I have to fix things idk how you stop doing that I feel like bad if I don’t! So yeah focusing on myself is great idea and figuring out how to stop my cycle of fixing others things
