I am 20 years old I have never been diagnosed with anxiety and I have yet to talk to my doctor about any of this yet. I did have a huge xanax addiction about a year and half ago. I have not used any anti anxiety meds since then. But I overthink about everything in my life and the way I am feeling 24/7. And I have that deep down feeling like I am going to cry but never cry...
Maybe your brain is unbalanced sense you used Xanax for quite a while those are strong medications that take control of your brain . my best bet is try consulting your psychiatrist and family doctor to get a clear diagnosis. I'm also new to all this anxiety thing. My problem is over thinking too much and shortness of breath .
It has been a year and a half I know my brain was umbalnced but should be good now. I dont know what it is at this point.
Maybe you have an anxiety disorder. GAD produces a ton of overthinking and can make you feel down at times. Try therapy first. Pills arent a cure anyway.they can help but not a cure. First you need to understand whats going on inside you and therpay is good for thst. Nothing to be ashamed of. I know maybe three people who are all good. Everyone's got so,ething going on.
You sound exactly like me. Couldn't have put it better .the overthinking drives me mad. I even worry if I'm not worrying because I think I should be. Think I'm going mad . Been like this for years and convince myself it's worse all the time . Helps to talk to others the same and also have good doc. He won't give me anything habit forming and only gives me small amounts of diazepam as it relaxes me enough so I'm not shaking then I push myself to do stuff. Love all of you for talking with me .lts so hard alone . We are not mad but need help and reassurance.
I know where you are coming from. Its a never ending cycle of not wanting to over think. Than over thinking why you are over thinking. And it just keeps going.
