For sure,
I often over analyze the potential side effects of a treatment, and quit before I get any real benefit - or take meds at doses to low to have any real effect.
But this is part of the illness itself. People with anxiety tend to over analyze to the point that they become paralyzed.
For instance, I find it difficult to apply to jobs for which I am qualified. Not because I don't want to advance, or get pay increases, or that I am not hard working (quite the opposite).
Its the fact that I create a million different scenarios in my mind that may or may not occur, and become paralyzed to click "apply".Linkadge
