Does anybody else ever say to themselves, "I don't know if I can do this", when confronted in life?

Question

I do this every time life gives me a challenge. Instead of embracing challenges and getting through them, I go into psychological freeze mode. I worry and worry, "Can I really do this?" Take college for example... semesters just started and my instructors give me the syllabuses that outline what we are required to accomplish. 12 page papers? 20 hours of research work?

It seems that no matter what in life, I am always unsure of myself and asking, "Can I really do this? Do I have enough energy to get through this?"

I MUST not be alone. Does anybody else feelt he same way?

Answer 1

The is what I said when I was admitted into the hospital, having my baby. They were hooking up all kinds of stuff to me. I was having contractions. I told the nurse I don't know if I can do this "she said it is to late now Honey" And she was right.

I think we say that when we are faced with something that is going to happen. Something that we cannot stop. And guess what we can do them...

Answer 4

You are not alone but all you need is confidence and determination.  Tell yourself every day in the morning "I can do it".  Words are very powerful and if you repeat things like this and add more positives thoughts; you will be a winner.  we all have been there - I was there once.  And all I need was to trust in myself, become confident and sorround myself only with people that really support me.  Forget about the once that wants to push you down.  Honey, your future is in your hands.  I completed a master degree and still took more classes after that and feel like a champion.  I have a very good job, great income, and trust me the feeling of accomplishment is awesome.  Give yourself a pat on your shoulder and don't be afraid of challenges.  Live is full of challenges even for babies.  Even waking up in the morning can be a challenge.  I wish you the best of luck.  Love n hugs.

Everybody goes through freeze time in life. I don't care who you are. Just because somebody doesn't say it out loud, don't mean they don't feel it too. I go thru it every day with my kids and husband and the way he doesn't help me when he gets home because he has his own agenda of things to do so i am stuck taking care of the kids 24/7 a lot of times. Just take it one thing at a time and don't sweat the Small stuff and you will get thru it.
