I am a 58 year old male that is unable to make decisions. I have been
professionally diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having depression, but
not any kind of panic disorder. I am anxious quite a bit of the
time. I am on 30mg of Lexapro a day along with Welbutrin and
Trazadone at night for sleep assistance. I have retired in the last
year and it has been a pretty rough transition since then. I think of
things that I may want to do (ie. go to law school), but can't execute
on much of anything.
When I buy a new car, it could take over a year. I recently bought a
new set of tires for my wife's car and it took months. I can't
imagine how much time I spent on the internet looking at tire ratings
along with prices. We then went almost every place in town to look
and compare prices. One of my great tricks is to find something in a
store that I want, but not buy it. I'll tell myself, that I'll look
some more and if I don't find anything better, I'll come back and buy
what I found. When I come back to the original store, the item is
gone. Then I'm really upset.
I usually go through something like 'what will I do if this is not the
right decision'. On a big purchase like a car, I always think about
what happens if I'm not able to pay for it. My wife wants to move
South to where more relatives are, I am scared to death to make a
decision like this.
Please help me...I think I'm going crazy.
