I don
Today my boyfriend deactivated his Facebook and Instagram account all of a sudden and I didnt know why. Then I started to get really scared and worried about him because he had depression history. I texted him through SMS and asked him why. He said he needed a break from social media and said he was fine, he apolozied for not telling me. The problem is he didnt tell me. When I was waiting for his SMS reply, my hands were trembling, my legs felt weak, my heart sank and felt extremely heavy and kinda hurt. We called each other a few hours ago but I was still too drained to really talk, so that call was only 5 minutes long. Its been nearly half a day and the heaviness and pain on my chest are still there. I feel restless. When I lie now, I feel like theres something heavy pressing on my chest, which makes it nearly impossible to sleep.
This whole chest heavy thing has happened to me before when I was triggered by a certain thing. I went to the doctors and they said Im physically fine but I probably have anxiety disorder. They told me to take medicine but my mom didnt buy it for me. But I managed to go through it that time without medication or therapy. It took me a while but that heaviness on my chest and the feel of restlessness and anxiety were gone. Sometimes I sensed them tickling back to me but I still went through all of them. But now, theyre back.
@natalie8009 It's okay to be so anxious since you were concerned about your brother and thought perhaps him having deleted his social media accounts that he might have been a bad state of mind. Our family means a lot to us and I remember having similar feelings of dread when my father was in the emergency room and I did not know if he was okay or dying. You don't have to be calm and perhaps these feelings carried over after figuring out he's fine, and that's okay. Feelings will come and go, however if the doctor honestly feels you have anxiety disorder and you feel like it's affecting your life in other aspects, perhaps you can talk to your mother again about medication. You know what's best for yourself, but also know it's okay to get anxious and scared because I feel we all do
