I like having choices, but if I get too many choices thrown at me, I freak out! It causes me anxiety to get too many choices, weird huh? Another thing that causes me anxiety is if my day isn\u2019t planned. This happens every day, I ask what\u2019s planned and if they say \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019 I will literally freak out. I need my day planned, and if it isn\u2019t, I wait until it is, then I will go. I cannot go 1 day without it planned. 1 real life experience for both of these occasions is when I\u2019m in the car with my mom, and she slows down at the exit, and asks me \u201cWhere do you wanna go today?\u201d And I\u2019m thinking in my head \u2018There\u2019s no plan?!\u2019 and \u2018I get the choice of where to go!!!\u2019 So I ask what the options are and she says \u201cWherever you want\u201d And as she says that my brain stops thinking about all the fun places we could go and stress that I only have a 1 minute to choose starts freaking me out. I love choosing where to go but not when I only have 1 minute! So I start to think of where to go and then my mom says \u201cOkay so you need to choose <strong>NOW<\/strong> because there are cars waiting. We turn right for blah blah blah and we turn left for blah blah blah&#8230; So where do you want to go?\u201d And then my mom eventually chooses once I tell her I don\u2019t know and give up on the stress. So I guess she asked me for no reason&#8230; So I guess I like the freedom of choice but sometimes, just tell me what to do!!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever I get the chance to choose what to eat, where to go, or to do my homework right away or wait a while, I always seem to get stressed and fill up with anxiety about what might happen later after my choice is made.
