I've always gave up on everything i've tried to do.
I've though it was because i was a weak minded person and would need to live with it till the rest of my life. But no, i think that's not the reason.
I have severe anxiety, and watching something about how the time is relative, important and has a end, i think i understand everything now.
I give up on things because i don't know how to use my time. Like, tomorrow i have to go to the orthopedist at 5pm. So, the whole day i can't do nothing, "because ill not get to it in time, i can't do nothing before i go to him".
I've tried to skate some years ago, and gave up too, because i was going to a university so i though i would not have the time to learn nothing, it meaned an end.
I had go go to two therapists before i could notice this. How do i stop being an retarded? Even the therapists couldn't help me because the sensation i would need to do something soon was stronger, so i didn't heard them. I didn't heard no one.
A person said to me: "You aren't only ignoring the opportunities. You're asking for them to go away. You're doing the same to me. I hope someday you understand that. I'll wait for you".
But i don't know what i'm waiting for.
just relax man, when you feel overwhelmed just sit down and calm down, focusing on breathing, deep calm breaths
i know what you mean though, if i have to do something then i am living in the knowledge that "i have to do this later" at all times it seems and it does taint the day in a way.

That's the sensation. I'm trying to control it when it happens but sincerely it's very bad
> And with the sensation that's no time's left
But that's right. You don't know how much time you havhae. You may plans for next week youre worrying about now, but what if you died today? Wasted your time worrying about the future.
Sad way to live
Find a position you feel relaxed in. Sitting, laying down, whatever. Close your eyes and focus on your stomach/chest/ribs expanding and contracting with each breath.
If your mind starts to wander focus on your breathing and the feeling of air flowing through your nose/mouth. Move back to your stomach/chest/ribs after your mind stops wandering. Repeat this for thirty minutes.
