Clogged

I've never been good at introducing myself. That's one of my problems. Not only can I not introduce myself in a blog, but I can't introduce myself to other people in the real world either.

That's because I have anxiety problems. But don't we all these days? I think mine might be just a wee bit on the worse side. It's a daily struggle for me. Once I get to talking, it's not so bad. It's all the thoughts that come beforehand that keep me from wanting to do it.

I have what I like to call cloggy brain syndrome. When I get anxious or nervous about something, I begin to lose the ability to think clearly. My mind becomes so cluttered with worry and useless thoughts that I can't figure out how to navigate myself through a conversation.

Sure I could ask a question and kick start a conversation, but it's kind of hard to do something like that when you can't see past the wreckage of your brain. It's kind of a pain in the butt.

So that's me. Worrying since 1988. Maybe one day, I'll get better. For now. I'll try to put the clutter of my brain here, that way I can leave room for important and meaningful thoughts.
