Ive always been a bit like this, but i feel its getting worse. I worry about EVERYTHING! i think im too empathetic and care too much what people think. I don't show my emotions, im very private, i especially hate for anyone to pitty me, think badly of me, be pissed off at me etc does anyone else feel like this. Im starting to go into shut down mode and feel sick at times 😭

Have you tried meditation/yoga? It's not for everyone but may be at least worth a try

You sound quite obsessed with control and perfection. You have a perfect vision of how you want it, but when it gets to D Day , it feels like it’s going to fail so you flip to the other extreme. Try work on accepting situations and interactions. You’re getting worse with age? Ok, thats how it goes right now, maybe something will change. I’d look into EFT and also cognitive therapy personally, those worked for me.

Talk to your doctor, sounds like anxiety, could be General Anxiety Disorder but you should talk to a qualified professional. IF your doctor tries to dismiss your concerns, says that you just need to worry less, says that women often overthink things, please either tell them that all of that may be so but you'd still like a referral to a therapist (if you're in Australia ask about a "mental health plan" I think it's called, where you can see a therapist for 6 free sessions). If they still dismiss you, see a different doctor, because what you've described above is worse than just "normal" nerves/worry. My SIL sees a therapist and is on medication for her anxiety disorder, and finds the therapist really, really helpful. I hope you find some relief.

Sounds like you have anxiety to me. Have you tried improving any lifestyle factors to see if it helps? Reduce sugar/caffeine/ start exercising daily etc? Otherwise, maybe you should talk to your GP?
