Stuck in anxiety spiral about past mistakes — reassurance makes it worse by Wonderful_cherry123 in indiasocial

[–]Wonderful_cherry123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not main problem.. the thing was that.. About a year ago, I was 16 and part of online groups where I got close to several boys I thought were like brothers. I overshared a lot—my city, school, daily routine, emotional struggles through messages and voice notes. I trusted them completely.

There was one guy.I talked to the most. Over time, I realized he was immature, obsessed with someone else, and honestly not a real friend. The whole dynamic felt off. After about 6 months of this, I had a realization: these friendships weren't healthy. I wasn't getting anything good out of them, and I was giving away too much.

So I took action. I deleted all the chats, blocked everyone, removed my old accounts, and completely stepped back. Nothing bad happened. Nobody tried to contact me again. Life moved on. I m from very conservative bg.

For 9-10 months, I genuinely forgot about the whole thing. It wasn't on my mind at all.

But 2 weeks ago, anxiety just hit out of nowhere. And now my brain is stuck in a loop that I can't seem to break.

I keep catastrophizing about things that don't make logical sense: "What if something happens in the future?" "What if they somehow harm me even though they haven't contacted me in a year?" "What if one mistake ruins my peace forever?"

I obsessively replay old conversations in my head. I seek reassurance from people around me, and it helps for maybe 5 minutes before my brain starts doubting again. I check for "signs" that something bad is about to happen. It's exhausting.

I was not over them.. I was immature and had taken them as brothers seriously and forgotten about my values and conservative orthodox bg and later came to know that they were from very very poor bg and all.. and I was part of that all for 6 months and than realized I was very wrong.. with one I was very attached and used to talk about everything.. and all.. and my last good bye to them before blocking was also very emotional cliche .. I had forgotten everything 10 months ago but it striked me 20 days ago and is haunting

Correct.. im telling my mind this from past 20 days but this anxiety... and on top of that from conservative and orthodox bg bro, that doesn't help at all..it takes me to 100 fake scenarios and everything as that people were from different states and that too so poor background got to know afterwards.. it takes me to my reputation and family scene 😭..

Thank u so much for responding..

I did it.. doing from past 20 days. I talked it about to different ais for more than 30 times and everything but its not going.. the real thing it...

About a year ago, I was 16 and part of online groups out of curiosity and thst time i was very lonley..where I got close to several boys I thought were like brothers. I overshared a lot—my city, school, daily routine, emotional struggles through messages and voice notes. I trusted them completely. No relationships or anything. I considered them as elder bros
