Idk what this feeling is, I’m frustrated
Long post but, i’m a 26M relatively fit. Whenever I focus on the present, distract myself and keep doing something its okay but sometimes when I try to relax I can’t, like my mind is blank and feel off. Districting myself makes me tired, makes me think something is wrong like why would I be distracting myself?, when nothing is going on and it becomes a cycle. Hard to concentrate sometimes. Affects my mental health/sleep. Head feels tingly. Don’t drink/smoke atm. This similar thing happened in college in 2021, went on reddit too asking for help, tried supplements too, gotten an mri it was clean, blood work clean back then too. Eventually idk how or what I did it went away for a long time. Now that feeling came back.
Hey, dude I can relate to you, my anxiety is like that too that blankness and of feeling like you automatically have to get up and do something. I feel like a lot of our generation is like that and we have a lot of healing to do. I'm here if you want to talk on your thread my dude💙

I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this it sounds very frustrating and tiring. It's totally understandable that you're feeling down about this, especially since you've dealt with it before.It sounds like you're doing your best to manage it, but it's tough when those feelings keep coming back. Do you know what sort of things trigger these feelings? Do you think identifying them will help you to prevent it ?

Hey , I hear you when you try to relax sometimes it won't just happen, mind guess blank and you feel like you are doing something wrong and it can be really frustrating and infuriating to not know what's going on, specially when it has happened before, and I see you are trying your best to handel this on your own and it gets more frustrating when these things don't work. And I see it's been a while , how are you doing now? Has it improved? Have you gotten any professional help?
@terriblefeeling Hey man, I can relate to this a lot. That blank feeling and the urge to keep yourself busy just so you don’t feel off, it’s a really weird cycle to be stuck in. You’re definitely not alone in this, a lot of people deal with something similar even if it doesn’t get talked about much. The fact that you’ve been through it before and it eventually went away gives some hope too, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. I’m always here if you ever wanna talk it out more!
