Hello biscottinofiore: Thanks for bringing your concern here to PC. I see this is your first post. So... welcome to Psych Central.

I'm not sure what to tell you about what you wrote in your post. Skipping from one thing to another was always a problem for me as well. But I can't really tell you what the cause of it is. Perhaps what you've been experiencing is something you might consider delving into with the help of a counselor of mental health therapist? From what you wrote it sounds as though you're still in school. Perhaps there's a school counselor you could start with?

I suppose one possibility is that going from one interest to another is a good way to ensure you'll never really fail at anything because you don't stick with one thing long enough for the possibility of failure to rear it's head. And this could be related to your anxiety I suppose. But that's just one possible idea. Perhaps other PC members will have some more insightful suggestions.

Here's a link to an article by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D., from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of anxiety disorders along with 3 additional articles that offer tips for coping with anxiety:
