Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for the query & I feel sorry for your troubles. Well I guess your between 20-30 yrs & you have faced these problems since your early teens. Please correct me if I am wrong. Prima facie what you are describing is suggestive of having anxious-avoidant type traits of your personality. So long as one does not face distress or lands up in trouble due to a particular personality trait, there is nothing wrong in having some anxiety, some avoidance behavior. But seemingly you are facing a lot of difficulty in your workplace & home. Thus its time for you to step up & seek help. Anxious-avoidant traits usually develop in settings of adverse childhood experiences, harsh discipline etc. but these are not the only reasons & some people may have them de novo also. Hence rather than blaming past events, we shall try to sort out this problem. You need to consult a Psychiatrist/Psychologist where you shall learn ''Assertiveness training'' which simply put is a behaviour modification technique which teaches you how to say NO, how to express discordant opinions, how to assert yourself, your opinions etc. without creating bitterness, how to handle a situation with confidence without appearing arrogant etc. Plus for your irregular sleeping habits, you shall be taught daily activity scheduling, sleep hygiene measures. If required you shall be also prescribed medications like SSRI group drugs, propranolol for better anxiety control. Dont worry, take the next step & seek help. You can also revert back to me if you need extra help. Good Luck
