Why.. why is this happening? I can’t be bothered to do anything besides sleeping and using my phone for hours nonstop. Just why. I feel bad for not being able to help my mother, I just don’t have the energy or desire to.. am I dying?

First, take a deep breath in through your nose, exhale through your mouth. Do this a few times. Your lack of energy could be a number of things. Do you have any other physical or emotional symptoms? I know it sounds counterproductive, but try to get outside for s period of time, sit in the sun or take a short walk. What is on your phone that keeps you connected to it? Have you experienced any of this before?

I have experienced this before, it’s so scary. Going outside is painful for me but I can try. As for physical symptoms, I do have a lot.

Have you spoken to a doctor when one of these episodes comes about? What makes going outside painful? Sorry for all of the questions but trying to get context. People have a tendency to give advise without knowing what’s going on and it doesn’t help. Support, not advice is what we need. (Remember that sleep is the body’s way of regenerating)

I have, they all say there is nothing wrong with me. I hate going outside, I feel like it triggers all the anxiety, all the fear and physical symptoms. I start suffocating and feeling like I will pass out, and this all goes away when I go back home.. but the comes the sleeping issue, falling asleep feels like death. It feels like all my organs are too lazy to function.. it’s weird. Today when I went to nap, I was 100% sure that I was going to get into cardiac arrest as soon as I fall asleep since I felt my heart shutting down. Actually this cardiac arrest thought happened ever since I heard this story about a girl my age that died from it in her sleep.

How old are you? Have you always experienced these sensations when going outside? When I say go outside I wasn’t implying or it to be around other folks or far from your house.

Yeah, always

Even around folks or anywhere far from my house, I feel detached from reality, and start thinking that there is no air outside to breathe in and so I start suffocating.

Now it’s getting to the point that even inside my house, it’s torture. Also I am 16.

Have you talked to your mom about your anxiety? This kind of thing is real.

I did. She knows it’s anxiety.
