Making decision

Does anyone have HUGE anxiety over making decisions??? and then have regrets and guilt after you have finnaly made one. Sometimes it is just a simple decision. Alot of times I make a pro and con list and it still does not help -- I am always worried I am going to make the wrong choice. Like my whole life is going to fall apart. Thanks for any advice.

Yes I feel that way all the time. Even over the most simple things like sometimes I look in the fridge for what I am going to make for dinner and almost panic cause I just keep going blank and going well should I make this I like this but will everyone else ect. ect. It's horrible. I constantly feel guilty about the decisions I make like I put my son in his highchair because I am feeling a little anxious and don't want him to feel it too. then try to get the laundry done to distact myself and then I feel guilty because I should be playing with my son instead of folding laundy and it just become one vicious cycle.

I wanted to add that even tho the Lexapro hasn't stopped the panic attacks for me, it has stopped most of the unwanted thoughts and obsessions.
