I've never gotten an official diagnosis, but I've always wondered what it would be. I mean, it's obviously some sort of anxiety disorder, but which one?
For me, I feel anxious mostly about doing something wrong (foot in the mouth moments, upcoming responsibilities, etc.), though I can feel anxious over seemingly nothing at all, too, especially on weekends with more unstructured time. I sometimes have dangerous "what what would happen if" thoughts, ranging anywhere from "what would happen if I just didn't do X?" to "what would happen if I stepped out in front of that bus?" There are times, though, when shows like Criminals Minds make me feel like I'm only a mere step away from being a serial killer when the perpetrator's back story is about that one event that steered them wrong and all they wanted was love or whatever.
Good luck with LJ Idol! It's always felt out of my league, but I actually read about it this year and it felt more approachable, but I didn't think I'd be able to adhere to deadlines (which is probably true given how late this comment is).
