Bad anxiety today

LivAgain

Hi everyone,

This morning I feel so shaky and anxious that I really don't feel I can go to college. I'm going to because I don't want my family to worry but I feel really restless and nervy! It's irritating because my medication is supposed to be treating my anxiety feelings, but all it seems to be doing is putting me to sleep at night (which is a good thing because I know from past experience that my sleep would be suffering and we all know that usually can only make things worse, but in the day I feel perpetually anxious) - I don't know, I just wanted to talk about it! For me, feelings are like moths; they'll flit around inside you more and more crazily unless you open a window (i.e. talk about them).

Any tips?

Thanks so much,

LivAgain Innocent

  • I have had bouts of depression all my life and am beginning to realise that they result from not facing up to things. I avoid things that I think I can't deal with. Now, when I get depressed, I ask myself "what is getting to me"?

    It may take a while, but if I find the issue and understand, I cope better.

    I recently discovered the condition Alexythymia, emotional blindness, and many of my problems stem from this. It can take me ages to realise that I am having an emotional reaction to something, what it is and only then start to work through it. Then I can tell others around me what is bothering me and begin to cope again.
