Obessive emailing

Ang93

Does anyone else have a problem with obsessive emailing?

When I send an email, I experience deep anxiety about what I've said and whether the person will reply or not.

This usually results in my sending more emails to try and correct what I've said or seek reassurance from the person I'm emailing.

I can spend hours doing nothing, lying in my bed, obsessing over whether the person will reply.

  • I don't send follow up emails but I definitely ruminate if I don't get a quick response to something I think has potential to cause conflict, even if I'm just trying to be humorous and fear it hasn't been received the right way. 

    Like others have said, I take care over what words I use in writing and overthink things, but the longer I've had to think about an email, the more likely it is I'll be worrying about how it is received.
