Indecisive

For as long as I can remember I have had a major problem with "decision making". I will constantly think about the various options in my mind, from large decisions like what career is for me or what religion should I believe in to small decisions like out of five fast food restaurants which one should I eat at or small like changing my clothes several times because the one I am trying is just not right. I started to see a Psychologist three weeks ago, twice a month, and I started to take Paxil ( which has helped with my sweating hands and anxiety, but I still suffer from "indecisions"? Please suggest what I am doing right and your opinion what wrong with me, is there a name for "indecision" like "indecision disorder". I would appreciate a response. Thank you.
