Q: I Feel Worried/Uncomfort all the time But there is nothing to worry about

Hello ,

im 22 years old.
my case "as i see it" very simple .. but its really annoying me and i feel very bad.
im single , i have a very cool family , friends , work mates , educated ,my look is perfect which people tells me i should work as a model .. every one i meet/know LOVES me , i have no enemies , i didn't get into a single fight in my entire life , and im sure there is "0" person in this world hates me !
but there is something inside me drives me crazy which is : I WORRY all the time specially when i sit alone/go to smoke in the garden since my family don't like the cigarettes smell . and when i throw my self to bed thinking , i feel uncomfort inside and think about things which isn't true or no need to think about or doesn't exist at all , that's gonna make me crazy :( i have no troubles at work/home, i have nothing to worry about ...
as i remember this started when i was 20 years old .. i had a work and then left for college..
i was going to college 2 days a week .. so i was helping my dad in the supermarket when i had nothing to do .. but not that much ,

i was spending my time lets say "as i belive as a gamer and "lifeless" i was crazy about PC games ..
i was playing a very addictive game , i was playing it 8 hours and sometimes much more a day .. at that time , i didn't go with my friends out to have fun alot and not as i used to , i just went ignoring people all the time , the game was my life , and i was thinking of it also at work or when im with friend having fun i just couldn't get it out of my mind , and here im now , i don't play it any more , and i always go out and have fun .. but i feel there is something wrong inside me , I Worry 2much but there is nothing to worry about..
when i was 18-20 years old , i had alot alot alot of friends ..
when i used to walk in the streets or in my neighborhood i just was hearing people yelling " hey my friend " "come visit us" "my name" :X and 40% of them i don't really know personally lets say friends of friends of of of .... friends :X

after this 2 years i feel something changed in my relation with people , i feel that i lost something in my personality,lets say something like 10-20% which i dont know what is it or why , but its not the thing im worried of .

if i got over it "the game" why should i feel worried or something is wrong inside me ?
what could i do to stop it ?
in my life ? 1 thing which i really want . to stop it and feel okey/comfort and not worried all the time for nothing ..
here im writing and i feel worried , why ? i don't know ..

there must be something which makes me worry , and i cant know what is it because when i feel worried i dont think about special or specific thing.
i would be glad to hear suggestion from you to help me out , and tell me if u need more details which could help.

thanks and sorry for "bad english"

Thank you for your questiona and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

Worry is a normal part of life but if you are constantly worrying to the point that it is bothering you or interfering with your daily life, it may be time to talk with a professional. As Pat answered, talking with a counselor or therapist can be helpful and may help you find effective strategies for dealing with your worrying.

Hi Leopardos,

 

It can be very frustrating what you are going thru. But most people find that when they have someone to talk to about there worries and concerns that its always a big help. Sometimes it just helps to talk, sometimes it helps just knowing that someone is listening.

 

Counselors and therapists are there to help you in these situations. Sometimes all you need is a good friend to help you thru it. Sometimes talking to your doctor can help. I have always had my best luck with a good counselor.

 

Being worried, stressed, or uncomfortable is not bad unless it occupies your thoughts too often.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Pat
