worst place

I’m feeling paranoid and anxious. I’m not thinking right. I think it’s anxiety or depression. I feel overwhelmed and terribly afraid like the world is about to crash down on me. I’m alone.

I’m better ; ) I think it was a semi-panic attack, it felt lousy, but I survived it. Does anxiety and paranoia has some evolutionary benefit? Have a good evening.

ElephantsHear it does have some evolutionary benefit and that is to keep us safe.

Unfortunately, over time, we no longer needed the protection we once did and our

response to fear sort of short circuited and made us afraid of anything and everything.

Panic usually runs it's course and then the body settles down as it should do.

Embrace the new day. :) xx

Glad you're feeling better!

Now that you're on Health Unlocked, you're not alone. Continue to reach out for support. In addition, relate your feelings to your primary care doctor (I'm assuming you have one) who can refer you to a mental health practitioner. Best of luck.
