Don’t know why

I suffer from anxiety and it’s something that I’ve been really good at managing. But recently, out of the blue, my whole world has shifted back into old habits. I havent felt the need to abuse any drugs or other substances to escape my own reality in a long time but recently i have. Because i just want a moment where I’m not in my head. I don’t have motivation to do anything anymore- school, friends, anything I’m passionate about all don’t matter to me at the moment. I dont know how to get out of this state or what to do.

I’m sorry you are struggling so much. Do you have a recovery program you follow? If you do, perhaps more meetings would help? Also, have you spoken to a doctor? Perhaps medication, or a med change would alleviate your symptoms.

Maybe try something you’ve never done before. Like arts and crafts. Or dancing like to one of those old jazz fitness shows. It will definitely pull you out of your head if you get into it.
