Decision making

hohner

I find it hard to make decisions of what to do, even in the smallest of situations.

I'll give you an example..

Situation: My right eye has been sore(dry) and red veins, I also have a pain in jaw underneath my ear, pain in teeth area, back molar top right and low middle. The pain is Dull, like I've just had a tooth out.

Remedy: Bought dry eye drops, took a pain killer tablet(struggled to do this).

The pain continued for another 5 days and still is there, although feels a bit better(the eye is not as sore)...but I have been deliberating what to do, worrying it will not get better and how do I get help  ?

1.) Go to doctors for check up

2.) Go to the Chemist for check up

3.) Keep taking the eye drops

4.) Wait and see if it gets better by itself. 

5.) Take another pain killer.

Bottomline, each of those solutions has a people interaction and change stress..., I CAN NOT MAKE A DECISION, I make so many potential variables in my mind and freeze up.

Any advice on decision making, stopping myself from freezing up due to the unknown variables or too many variables.

STUCK IN NO MANS LAND ! Cry when problems arise

  • I've thought of another two -

    when I don't know how I feel about something, and when I don't have enough information.

    I wonder if it is about needing to know what will happen, before I make the decision.

    I have reduced my contact with people to the absolute minimum.  I am now in a much less stressful situation than hohner, so I don't see them as 'minging animals full of vomit' but I do see them as unpredictable and irrational who are unlikely to spend the effort in trying to understand someone who needs things to be predictable and "well defined".  They don't seem to think with a great deal of precision, and if they don't know which of two options is better they seem to just pick one and don't worry about it, which we cannot do.
