Anxiety

okay so... for the past little while i have felt very disconnected from the world. its so bad that it feels like idk.. i dont care about anyone? i dont feel close with anyone. like im drifting from everyone including my boyfriend. its like this intense feeling .. and its scary quite honestly. ive also been experiencing different panic attacks. its not just a racing heart and shaking.. its like idk im all relaxed but i catch myself holding my breath and tight in the chest, feeling like im going to have a heart attack. i have a constant aching pain in my heart it seems like . this comes and goes. its been an extra stressful year but ive only started feeling this since school started back up from summer break. i feel sensitive to light and sound and just annoyed with anything and everything , i also feel restless .. i wanna sleep my anxiety off (which i used to do because it helped) but then again i wanna go and sit downstairs and just hangout or go out for a walk but none of it seems appealing .. its like idk what to do with myself . . i wish i could explain it better but.. is there anyone out there who feels the same ? or has any advice ?

Hi Stephanie

I’m 21 years old and I totally understand how you’re feeling. Just try keep yourself busy and it should pass. It’s just your body going into defense mode because of the stress.

I couldn’t tell you how many times i’ve felt crazy because I just can’t explain how I am feeling. My head’s all over the place half the time I dont ever know what i’m thinking.

I hope you’re ok. You’re not alone x

honestly.. im trying to be. ive been sick twice this month.. im sick right now and have been for 2 weeks. ive been through quite a bit lately and i just wanna knock this feeling :frowning: honestly just need a friend. im 18 and feel like im losing everything including myself. im not the same person i was a few years ago..i used to be bubbly, happy, & now im the opposite . and it sucks.

I’m just off to bed for work tomorrow but send me a message and we can chat in the morning because I can totally relate to how you’re feeling. We’re similar ages also.

I’ll chat to you tomorrow x

I am sorry you feel this way right now. You mention school so I assume you are a teenager? I do not know how busy your life schedule is but maybe there is some new social activity that you could do that will totally immerse you and distract you from other feelings. Dancing is fabulous and maybe there is a social group or youth club that runs regular socials, the great thing is you can sit down or dance and do what you want. Any physical exercise that feels like fun might really help.
