Anxious

[taylor1999]

My anxiety stops me from doing everyday things and it’s so frustrating and even harder because nobody understands so I can’t talk about it. I can’t even sleep now, and the worst part is I don’t even know what sets it off, my heart literally starts beating crazy for no reason and I have a panic attack. I have stopped hanging out with my friends, going to parties and doing things outside my house because I’m worried I’ll be anxious and not be able to control it and embarrass myself in front people who just don’t get it. Even going out to eat or something simple is so hard for me and it sucks. And I’m young I’m supposed to be having the best time in college like all my friends but I just can’t get it under control and I feel like there is something seriously wrong with me. I could just use any advice from anyone going through the same things, I really need help just to get through the day.

I know how you feel, I can never enjoy my time with friends because I’m so anxious and I always feel so awkward

Yes I always feel so awkward and if I tell them what’s really going on they wouldn’t understand so I usually just isolate myself or leave , it’s the worst

I have no advice because I am also stuck in the same boat. I have slowly been isolating myself. The only time I feel somewhat comfortable is at home or while I’m doing yoga. Driving is terrifying to me now and unfortunately I work 30 minutes away from home. But, I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in feeling like this.
