Writer's Block: What's the Plan?

I always like to plan things. If I can't plan things or don't have control over a situation where I'm out of the house, I freak out. I feel out of control, have bad anxiety, don't eat, and don't have a good time. If I'm with someone I really trust who knows me well who is also dependable, I usually don't need to plan as much. I trust that if I get in an overloaded situation that they can help me. Even if things don't go as I planned, which usually bothers me but occasionally doesn't if it's a good/neutral surprise, I need to plan things out anyways. I wish I were more spontaneous and I hope I become more laidback with age, but so far I prefer having plans.

I plan and I have back up plans for my plans. If for example I decide I want to eat somewhere I have already thought out that if for whatever reason I get there and the line is too long or I feel overstimulated that I will go to Back Up Plan A or Back Up Plan B. It's horrible when my back up plans don;t work out either. There are sometimes when I don't have a back up plan because for whatever reason I didn't feel I'd need one then I tend to get really upset if something goes wrong because on the spot I can't really think of what to do next. I guess I always feel like I have choices since I'm not rigid in the plans I make for myself as I tend to give myself multiple choice since I know that I can decide something today and think it's a good idea but then tomorrow comes and I have no idea what I was thinking the day before and it doesn't sound like a good idea anymore. I make some people crazy by changing my mind but sometimes I don't know what's going to happen until it happens.

Usually my plans pretty much stay in place for a long time.
