My world is crumbling around me

[Mojonymous]

Hello, I am in high school and my anxiety, depression, and stress is making me feel like my social, academic, and love life are being destroyed from the inside out, even when they're not. This is a vicious cycle that never ends in my world. Any advice or just a "sorry" would mean so much. Thank you for reading.

Sorry to hear that, but no doubt you have potential.

Why not try mindfulness, computerised cbt google mood gym, exercise diet

[Mojonymous in reply to Goldfish_]

Define mindfulness. I'm unsure of what that means.

[Goldfish_ in reply to Mojonymous]

Living in the moment, not ruminating over the past or worrying about what the future may hold. It easier said than done, but if you google it you'll find loads of resources, books, youtubes etc. Drug free Buddhist type meditation and calm of concentrating on the moment, the regularity of your breathing, the feeling in your nostrils etc, but not anything that worries you

Thank you for the advice.

You're obviously very smart and understand how very real anxiety can be!! I'm so sorry you're going through this honey, but try not to dwell on it too much..

Thank you very much.

High school is so 'not' the real world. Once you finish you will probably lose those connections slowly. It is hard to believe but it happens. I felt very similar to you but now I am a happy father and making great contributions to this world. It seems like this is "it" but you must concentrate on what is important which is probably academics and getting into college or trade school. It is all temporary. Things will change for the rest of your life. The social and lovelife although important to you doesn't matter in the big scheme of things.
