Struggling with anxiety and life
Hey, I just wanted to vent how hard this been. Im scared. I made choices that im not sure about, life feels so uncertain. And... pointless. I applied for university and didn't get into the path I worked hard for in a year. I got into an uncertain path... and it really hit me hard. I feel like I failed, or like there's something to grieve. I keep blaming myself and thinking if I had just done that or that, choose that major instead, I would've been better off. It caused me to go into a state of anxiety where I have my heart palpations 24/7, tight chest, can't sleep, don't have any appetite. I keep waking up in panic. I'm not sure how to cope or live in peace.
Anyone have any advice for me? Im struggling

I'm not an expert but it sounds to me like you are experiencing the physical symptoms of emotional trauma: anxiety, panic, insomnia, palpitations, lack of appetite...
You said it feels like you are grieving. There are many kinds of losses that are not widely acknowledged. You had a dream and you worked hard to pursue it..and when you didn't get accepted, and you are grieving that loss. That's completely understandable.
Yeah. that's right... it's grieving a loss. I had pushed those thoughts away until the moment it was set, then it hit. I'm trying to work through it and trying to see the bright side. Thank you for your reply ❣️
