My anxiety is taking over!!!

I fell asleep very late last night. Around 2 AM. It’s 5:30 now and I have to be up at 6. I woke up around 5 AM feeling shaken and nervous due to the fact my boyfriend and I were talking about hard emotional stuff...and I told him my fears of going crazy. I told him my fear that I have schizophrenia, he was so supportive and comforting....it was so nice not to feel judged. Now I’m awake. I’m shaky and scared and nauseous. I have to go to school in about an hour and a half and I can already tell today is going to be hard...

It would be simple if i just could stay home from school. But I can’t. Starting tomorrow i have a sub teacher for at least 2 weeks In one class and I have to go to every class in those 2 weeks. I need to be at school today too. I need to go. I want to go. But my anxiety is telling me no.

I feel like I’m gonna throw up like actually throw up...I am terrified of failing my senior year of Highschool . It’s been such a good year I just can’t let my anxiety ruin this now..It ruined my junior and I don’t wanna lose my senior year too.

I’m terrified that i am getting sick, like that I have schizophrenia. I don’t hear voices but I do see stuff out of the corners of my eyes when my anxiety is starting.. nothing that I can make out like it’s an eye floater or tunnel vision or something.I get weird feelings of Deja Vu randomly through out the day. I think they’re seizures but people around me tell me that i don’t have seizures and that Deja Vu can happen with anxiety. But it happens several times everyday. It’s terrifying when I get the Deja Vu feeling cuz it’s not Deja Vu. It’s “have I done this before? Have I seen this in a dream?” But when I tell myself it’s just my anxiety the feeling of familiarity goes away. So maybe it’s not seizures? I’m terrified I have epilepsy or brain tumors or schizophrenia but everyone (friends. Family. My therapist) that this is all just part of my anxiety and that I’ll be ok. That I’m not going crazy...I hate anxiety

It's a terrible thing. I also have health anxiety. My husband is my #1supporter. I have been dealing with it for 3 days now. It's not easy...then every new symptom feels like a death sentence for us. We imagine the absolute worst thing is happening and we cant shake that feeling and dwell on it...

What I found works is going out and having fun. If you got friends at school and they make you forget about your anxiety for even the slightest moments, do yourself a favor and get out. If your therapist said it's your anxiety, than it's most likely your anxiety. What I advise is you try to do things that you enjoy and distract yourself. You'll feel much better, I can gurantee it. I am nearly over my health anxiety over ALS, and rn i'm dealing with anxiety of having another bad day, but by not caring and thinking about enjoying things I like, I feel better. I also advice you drink some herbal teas, they don't have dangerous side affects at all, unless you overuse them.
