I feel like this might be a joke, but just in case.
Could be anxiety. Lots of tips online. Square breathing and meditation comes to mind. Also there’s medicine doctors can give you.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
For what it's worth, I'd rather trust the person who is unsure if they are correct, than the person who's confident that they can't be wrong.
Think. Try thinking. Do calculations. Do argumented predictions.
I view this as a good thing. My bacheloreate was in science and I can tell another science type person like me by the way they hate saying something is not possible or definate. They shy from zero and 100%. If I say something is 99% then im sure if I say less than 1% and im sure its not gonna work.
stop feeling it.
Understand the process you made to get the answer.
that's good because uncertainty is the reality, it's certainty that is a myth propagated. historically there is always people trying to capitalize others' desire to avoid uncertainty, inventing religion, snake oil, supplements, etc.
You can try accepting that uncertainty is completely normal and healthy and can be your minds way of letting you know you need more information or more time to process the information you already have. No matter what, be honest about it with everyone involved. We all have to make decisions sometimes without enough information and sometimes even with none. Guessing can feel overwhelming but it always helps me to be honest when guessing is ultimately what I have to do. Making a decision when you are uncertain can be very uncomfortable but doing it and seeing that you survived can often help ease the discomfort next time. Good luck!
