does any one else get overwhelming anxiety

summer, i think a lot of us here know just how you feel with the anxiety. i find i have a constant movie going on about how i acted, things i said, did i say the right thing,did i talk to much, was i too quiet should i have behaved differently, should i have bought that, why did i buy that .... oh the list is endless. and this is when im sober. very difficult to switch this off. i know i over think things and over analyse things... i mean who's perfect. that said i did find when i got some decent af time under my belt my anxiety decreased an awful lot. obviously i didnt have the drunk behaviour and guilt to worry about but as my confidence increased i felt less concerned about everyday things. i think the one great advice is to try and live in the moment. the past cant be changed and the future can be what we make it
