Anxiety
Not ED related, so hidden with a cut.
I just don't know who else to ask about this mess, I'm sorry.
I am having increasing problems with anxiety.
I anxious about being alone, or being in big groups. I've suddenly become very concerned with what people think of me (I always used to have the attitude of, "If you don't like me, then fuck off."). I'm afraid they think I'm pathetic, useless, desperate, phony, immature or too mature, being ungrateful, being stupid, or gullible.
I'm worried that people see me as I do (or did, I don't know what I think of myself anymore, I'm too afraid to spend too much time looking to deeply). I'm afraid of everything that could possible go wrong in life, even though I know how stupid and pointless it is to worry like this.
I can't tell myself anything to calm down. I get so overwhlemed that it feels like I can't breathe and my thoughts won't slow, and that I might cry or throw up. I'm making myself sick with worry that I cannot control.
It's the worst late at night. I keep myself up for hours, sometimes in a state of near-panic. Sometimes I wake up at 4am or 6am and worry myself until I have to get up for the day.
Any ideas would be great. Medical help is out of the question, though.
