I never knew I had anxiety until this year, when the lies that I have told myself have become apparent. I know I'm indecisive, but never realised it was so much of a problem until this year, when my partner of 8 years dumped me and I sought help. I've been wanting to buy my first home for at least ten years. I have saved a good deposit and made an offer on a home just under ten years ago. I lost out by £2k but my anxiety persuaded me to keep saving. I received an inheritance and could afford some lovely houses outright, or borrowed a small amount and bought an amazing home. I viewed one but my anxiety persuaded me it was too good for me. I kept saving, believing that was the answer. I was offered an amazing job, but my anxiety persuaded me I wasn't good enough, so I stayed where I was. Now I've been dumped, I'm homeless and can see all the lies my anxiety has made me believe. I'm priced out of the market where I would like to buy, so I'm depressed and anxious now. I'm sofa-surfing but my friends are finding it hard to put up with me. I've changed for the worse and can't snap out of it. I've lost so many opportunities in life because of my anxiety, which I never knew I had. Well done to James for being so open in this video.
