    On top of that. I expect alot from people I guess. I expect them to make me thier top priority friend.

    Based on my my experience some indian friends are emotionally draining. If i have to make new friends i have to invite thier families to home and cook food for them. I feel like making friends is physically and emotionally draining and I dont have time for the it.But I am scared pf being alone.

    It feels my brain is seeking validation from other others. My self worth is defined by others.

    I am doing this. But still my thoughts havent stopped. Do you think this is OCD ? OCD always told me that I am never good enough. Now its saying that my friend has hurt me and she is not good enough. Like all the obsessive thoughts wont stop. I will be left all alone by this friend(lets call A). I have another close friend apart from my neighbor and let her name as B. Lets name the person who has hurt me as by ignoring me as C. Even B invited C to her home and she invited me too. B doesnt know about the things happened between me and A. I told her what has happend  and I rejected her invite politely. Now my brain is worried that B will get close to C and her group just like A did. They all will get close and I will be left with no friends. I dont want friends anymore. Before my daughter was born I used to enjoy my time alone at home and with my husband. I used to have zero friends and that never bothered me. I started making for the sake of my daughter and got used to it. Now it feels life without friends is empty.

    Hey Anita.. I did practice what you said. I tried to deal it with empathy because i will still have resentment towards her forever. I believe my friend is still a good human and she cares about me. She came to airport to pick us, cooked breakfast and lunch on the day we landed. She still cares about me. Its just the way to we use to hang out has changed. My anxiety has calmed a bit. I want to forgive her for my own peace of mind. She is going through  alot already. She has financial and health issues. I was doing ok during the day. But at night my brain started fighting again like how my friend treats me, she is taking advantage of me. I had these racing thoughts and headache. I dont know why I want to forgive her and move on. But my brain is trying to tell me she is hurting by enjoying with other group.

    Hey Anita…I am here again with a new obsession. I know I spoke about this friend in the past.She is my neighbor like how we used be so close before going out together as always.Now she is with a friend who has hurt me in the past.Now she has a group of friends.Now she is really having a good with her new group of friends.My mind cannot stop  obsessing about how she has changed.She hangs out more with them now.I just have two friends the neighbor and the other friend.Sometimes i am jealous of her hanging out with such large group of people.I know she still cares about me. But the jealousy and fear is overpowering.I want to let go and still be friends with her because my daughter and her daughter are best friends.I dont want to ruin thier friendshi.But its still hard to accept the fact how my friend has changed.The NEW her.She is close with a friend who has hurt me in the past.She has her own set of friends whom i dont like.It feels like we have grown apart but i still have to put a happy face when i meet her because she is my neighbor.I get jealous or get triggered when she hangs out with other friends without me.How do I tackle these feelings/emotions instead of running away from it.I want to let go of this hurt.When i was in India I didnt have to think about all this shit because my mother is like my best friend.Now i have to maintain these frienships  because I am in a different country.That makes feel like going back to India.lol.

    I dont talk to people at my work. I am the quiet person in the whole team. But on the other hand i want to take up challenges and lead the team but anxiety is stopping me to achieve all the the things i want.

    Hey Anita.. Thanks for checking. I am feeling bit better now. Its just I am frustrated with my job. Like I said before I am not satisfied with my job. I did tell my manager about taking new challenges. He promised me that new project will start soon and that will be challenging. But when I came back form vacation everything has changed. My manager will be still working on the existing project and i will be left with little amount of work. That just made me angry. Its been two years I dont see any growth in my career. I want to try a new job. But it would be hard for me to go through the interview process again because of my social anxiety. I want to take up new job and excel in my career but I am unable to do so because of my anxiety. It just sucks.

    Thats what i told my brain. I will handle the anxiety when time comes.Everythibg feels so mundane.I am getting irritated alot easily.Since last year i noticed that i am getting angry easily.On top of that its gettibg hard to handle my stubborn kid who says no to everything.I am not happy with my current job.Everything is a trigger for me now.I just feel like a failure.

    I started feeling anxious the moment i entered home. I was always surrounded by family members  in India so its so quiet and depressing here. My brain started telling me that i felt less anxious in India and its more lonely here. So I am worried about if I should settle here or go back to India and take care of my parents. How will i survive this anxiety when i get old ? I am in my mid thirties lol. My brain started getting worried about future.
