There is a name for it!!!!!!!

So I being such a talker I never understand why I don't post that much. After doing some random searches things are staring to make sense. I will start to type something and then question if it is "blog worthy" and then let is stay saved as a draft. I have over 15 drafts just sitting to be posted or deleted. Why... because I have a mild case of

 Decidophobia

yes I know this is self-diagnosed but I still show some signs.

Do you relate to this?

Here is some info from the article...

What Is Decidophobia?

Decidophobia is the overwhelming, irrational fear of making decisions. The person coping with this phobia is painfully aware that life if full of choices and decisions are made based on those choices. I am glad we have choices... just bad at making them...? The decidophobic individual may actually fear making the wrong decision and so is paralyzed from making any decision at all. If something is big/expensive or worst case BOTH (planning a vacation I do find myself putting it off until it is practically too late.

Decidophobia is a combination of Latin and Greek words. It derives from the Latin word “decido”, meaning to decide and the Greek “phobos”, meaning fear.

What Causes Decidophobia?

The person coping with Decidophobia has experienced a traumatic, real-life event. Not that I know of. That experience is then automatically associated with making decisions.

Perhaps, as a child, the decidophobic individual was never encouraged to make independent decisions that were well thought out. Still not true for me. Maybe this person was consistently encouraged to simply go along with the majority or the status quo. Still no. Perhaps the person coping with Decidophobia has made unwise decisions that have led to devastating consequences. This individual may have knowledge of someone else making decisions that resulted in severely negative consequences.So maybe I just randomly got it/developed it...?

Whatever the cause, the decidophobic person can experience anxiety and emotional turmoil that is completely disruptive to daily functioning.  I function, its just when it comes to big decisions, I get nervous.

What Are the Symptoms of Decidophobia?

The symptoms of Decidophobia are individual and will vary from person to person. Some people, when confronted with their fear, may feel slightly uncomfortable, become nauseated or begin to perspire. At the opposite end of this spectrum, other people are so severely impacted by their fear of making a decision, that they can experience full blown panic and/or anxiety attacks.

Other symptoms of Decidophobia can include:

* Feeling Dizzy

* Muscle Tension

* Hyperventilation

* Trembling

* Rapid Heartbeat

* Feeling Out of Control

* Feeling Trapped and Unable to Escape

* Intense Feeling of Impending Disaster

(some yes, but some no)

I am hoping now that I realized that I have something similar to this I will be able to fix it!

Have a great Thursday!

Good Luck to my honey who takes a big test all day tomorrow!
