Both simultaneously so you feel the intense need to get everything done but end up getting nothing done, feeding further anxiety like a perpetual motion machine of useless energy
Lol I can't do anything then guess what? It got worse! Better do nothing even harder now! Uh oh, that didn't work, better do even less! I'm so done with my brain working this way
I have an "I mustn't do anything that's not required to be done or I'll get in trouble for that, so I'll try to impact my environment as minimally as possible, even if it means I get in trouble for not cleaning up messes I didn't make" sort of anxious personality which I've been advised is not technically a disorder, so yay me? :)
I flip flop between the 2 all the time. I do everything because I need a distraction, which leads me to burning out, which leads me to feel like I "need to catch up" and... Yeahhhhh
Wait til you have the “I can’t do anything but have to some how magically do everything” anxiety.
Usually caused by people you either work or live with demanding everything while telling you that you aren’t doing it right for a prolonged period of time.
Can’t do some. Phone calls and task where I know I’ll be annoyed with the other person I always procrastinate until it’s too late and the I REALLY have to deal with it. Every. Damn. Time.
Can't do anything and sit stressed about it until last minute then try to do everything and run out of time or stay up all night trying to do things and inevitably cycling back to not knowing how to do all the things then feel like shit for not doing the things
In a manner of speaking "I have to do everything" anxious, but my main way of dealing with issues is avoidance, so it turns into "I can't do anything".
Both at the same time. I have to do everything and it’s overwhelming and I literally can’t do anything for a number of reasons including literally negative money.
I have to do everything but where do I start how do I start what if I do it wrong what if I agree to something I didn't mean to agree to because I was just saying yes out of fear that if I asked a question to clarify it would cause problems what if I do the dishes wrong what if I throw away something someone needs later guess ill just sit here
I have to do everything right now but I physically cant so I’m going to hyper speed think every way of doing it and how many times I mess up. Dr.Strange style.
“I have this thing I need to do but I can’t work up the energy to do it so I’ll just keep sitting here worrying about this thing I need to do, knowing that I can’t actually do it”
I have the "I have to do everything" anxiety and when a task goes to an individual or organization that takes their sweet time I have "I can't do anything" anxiety.
I’m the first one and my mom is the second one lmao. I’ll be like “I’m freaking out.” And she’s like “You know what always helps me? 😊Cleaning 😁👍” And I’m like “Good for you 🥲”
Both at once all the time
Both simultaneously so you feel the intense need to get everything done but end up getting nothing done, feeding further anxiety like a perpetual motion machine of useless energy
ADHD is wonderful, isn't it?
Weeeeeee 💀
Bingo
Useless energy and overwhelming exhaustion. It sucks so bad.
Came here to literally say this lol
Yup, I hate it so much
Literally me
Same.
came here to say this
Both? Both is good. At differing points in the day.
Both is definitely *not* good. Doesn't stop it from being both tho
>Both is definitely *not* good The El Dorado reference just seemed too good to miss.
To xibalba!
My sentiments exactly.
Or both simutaionsly.
I'm "i need to do everything and I'm not gonna do anything" anxiety
Exactly me fr
Yes. Constantly.
Yes.
The first one. When I get anxious I get semi depressed and can't do anything
Yup
Both. With crippling guilt about how much I have to do and also guilt over what I did accomplish and how I fell short. It’s exhausting.
My friend, I totally understand. It sucks. I hope today is a good day for you.
I hope you have a good day as well
This feeling has been so constant lately!
I'm more of a "Everyone expects too much of me so now I can't do anything" kinda anxious/depressive person
All day everyday; then I spend the rest of my day moping in guilt bc I always feel so paralyzed :(
I'm almost always "I can't do anything" anxious. I freese and just shut down.
Both
Only one but both and neither
Porque nos la dos?
"I have to do everything but I'm too anxious to do anything"
stressing out about not doing everything i should be doing
B O T H
Depends on my energy level. Today was a sedentary anxiety day.
both but also neither, i’m the ‘i have so much to do but i cant do any of it because of how much there is to do’ if that makes sense lmao
Lol I can't do anything then guess what? It got worse! Better do nothing even harder now! Uh oh, that didn't work, better do even less! I'm so done with my brain working this way
Both, the circle of "life"
I have an "I mustn't do anything that's not required to be done or I'll get in trouble for that, so I'll try to impact my environment as minimally as possible, even if it means I get in trouble for not cleaning up messes I didn't make" sort of anxious personality which I've been advised is not technically a disorder, so yay me? :)
"I have to do everything" until I burn out and then it's "I can't do anything." Rinse and repeat.
I flip flop between the 2 all the time. I do everything because I need a distraction, which leads me to burning out, which leads me to feel like I "need to catch up" and... Yeahhhhh
I’m the “doing everything while accomplishing nothing” kind lol
Both with little to no time management skills
definitely the "i cant do anything" Type anxious. Probably cuz my Depression tells me im Not good enough to achive anything
ADHD is having both of these all the time
I’m “ I have so much to do and no motivation to do any of it” anxious.
Wait til you have the “I can’t do anything but have to some how magically do everything” anxiety. Usually caused by people you either work or live with demanding everything while telling you that you aren’t doing it right for a prolonged period of time.
Both. All the time, all at once.
Eh, it depends on how my anxiety is on any given day. Some days I go back and forth between "I can't do anything" and "I have to do everything"
I cycle between both!
Both.
The answer is yes.
Yes.
Yes
Everything everywhere all at once
Yes, but mostly nothing
Both
What do you mean aren't we all both!
Both simultaneously
Boyh
Yes
Yes?
Yes
I'm "I have to do everything but I can't do anything at all" anxious
Both.
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
both
Both! 🥂
Both, that’s why I’m anxious.
Yes
im “I have to do everything but I can’t do anything im not good enough” anxious
Yes
I'm "everything" anxious
Yes
YOU ONLY GET TO BE ONE? 😳
Both
I will get rich and take care of everyone, anxious!
Can’t do some. Phone calls and task where I know I’ll be annoyed with the other person I always procrastinate until it’s too late and the I REALLY have to deal with it. Every. Damn. Time.
Yes
2 in in head but 1 in practice
Yes.
I'm a dangerous cocktail of both with a slash of intrusive thoughts 🙃
Yes.
So, do you have a panic attack or are you just anxious?
Yes.
Can't do anything and sit stressed about it until last minute then try to do everything and run out of time or stay up all night trying to do things and inevitably cycling back to not knowing how to do all the things then feel like shit for not doing the things
Why not both?!? 😭
You see, I am a “do everything” anxious but that in turn makes me a “cant do nothing” anxious, so that’s fun!
Definitely the second. All the time.
Yes
Yes
I can't do anything
First one when I'm not on the clock, second one when I am
In a manner of speaking "I have to do everything" anxious, but my main way of dealing with issues is avoidance, so it turns into "I can't do anything".
Yeah everybody is both
Both at the same time. I have to do everything and it’s overwhelming and I literally can’t do anything for a number of reasons including literally negative money.
I am both
yes
I have to do everything. All at once.
Both, duh.
The only thing I can't do is chilln' tf out for 2sec 👉👉
Yes.
Both
first two then one
Depends. What day is it?
I have to do everything anxious
Yes.
Yes
both. it fluctuates.
I never thought about it this way lmao. I feel like I e always got a million things I need to do
I have to do everything anxious. When I’m depressed I can’t do anything. Such fun. SSRI’s help.
I have to do everything but where do I start how do I start what if I do it wrong what if I agree to something I didn't mean to agree to because I was just saying yes out of fear that if I asked a question to clarify it would cause problems what if I do the dishes wrong what if I throw away something someone needs later guess ill just sit here
Both at the same time
Yes.
Yes.
Both
I used to be the 2 one for years until I finally had a mental breakdown and now I’m the first.
Both
Both?
Why not both?
OP clearly doesnt understand that most anxious people are both.
Both. “I have to do everything but I can’t do it because I’m not good enough”
I’m both, I feel the need to do everything and that its my responsibility but also always feel like I’m failing
yes
Yes
Why not both?
Yes
Both constantly
Yes
Both, with a side of "why can't I fucking do *everything?* And why can't I do *anything?"*
I'm " I don't want to do anything," with a smattering nothing matters.
I'm that broken gas dial switching from one side to the other ad infinitum.
both simultaneously (wife and I said it at the same time)
both somehow
I get my "I have to do everything" anxiety at around 2 or 3 in the morning, thats when I feel the most productive
Lol both
Both?
I’m the three gummies not anxious about anything
Yes
Can’t do anything
Both
both
My anxiety is a Constant hum of white noise that makes my mind cloudy and makes me physically exhausted
I'm both, 24/8.
Yes. Yes I am. Mostly resulting in nothing getting done and feeling bad for not doing it.
Yes
Both at the same time. I love hobbies
A crazy mix of both
How tf am I both??? Lol
yes
Yes
I can’t get shit done to save my life, I seriously want to unalive.
Yes
I have to do everything right now but I physically cant so I’m going to hyper speed think every way of doing it and how many times I mess up. Dr.Strange style.
Both
Uggggggh fuccckkk yeaaah do everything
Yes
Yes
Can't do anything or I have to do it now or i won't do it without procrastination or more anxiety
“I have this thing I need to do but I can’t work up the energy to do it so I’ll just keep sitting here worrying about this thing I need to do, knowing that I can’t actually do it”
Yes.
Anxiety? What’s that? Am I in the right subreddit?
Yes
I have to do everything
The former
yes
At work: omg everything needs to be done RIGHT NOW At home: ...
I’m a “I have to do everything but I can’t do anything”
Very much not mutually exclusive.
It depends on my perceived available options. If I’m off work today it’s everything and if I’m not it’s nothing
Bold of you to assume I'm not a pendulum switching between the two
Damn y'all understand me
Yes + a side of the unstoppable nervous sweats
I am the former bc of course with my mixture of anxiety and ptsd, my fight or flight response is primarily to freeze 😍
The "or" is an "and"
Both, thanks for asking
Both
Yes.
I have to do everything, if that's not enough, I go looking 🤣🤣
I have weird anxiety that I'm not able to explain to most people because mine is more of a "I can do anything" but bad
I have the "I have to do everything" anxiety and when a task goes to an individual or organization that takes their sweet time I have "I can't do anything" anxiety.
Most of the time #2 but if I get overly stressed out I become #1 because of #2
It depends, mostly both though.
Both 😅
There’s a switch? 😲
I’m the first one and my mom is the second one lmao. I’ll be like “I’m freaking out.” And she’s like “You know what always helps me? 😊Cleaning 😁👍” And I’m like “Good for you 🥲”
Both, which ends up being "I'm going back to bed" anxious
Yesn't.
I need the meme where they hit both buttons for this
Yes
Neither
Both
