I don’t know what to do

Hello everyone, I’m new here and this is my first thread. I’m a 19 year old girl. I usually never reach out for help, and I always just shove my problems aside and try to help others, but my anxiety has become really bad and I don’t know how to get better. It’s like I have dug myself bellow rock bottom. I have been bottling up my feelings and now I can’t help myself. I don’t remember what happiness feels like anymore. I usually never have troubles in school, but even that has started to become an issue. The past two weeks have been hell, and I have been constantly crying and overthinking. I couldn’t rlly eat much for a week because the stress had made me so intensely nauseous. I lost a lot of weight aswel, and I’ve been worrying my family. This past week has been constant stress eating which really did not help with my self image. I live with my parents, but I couldn’t sleep in my own room anymore because it felt like my walls were drowning me. After 4 days of sleeping in the living room, my uncle suggested to stay over at his place, which really helped, because I can actually talk to him and he understands me. I don’t want to go back home because my parents don’t understand how I feel and I can’t tell them everything which makes things very complicated. I’m also dealing with heartbreak, which got really bad these past two weeks. I feel very depressed, and the panic attacks get really bad because of the overthinking. I have only had bad experiences with therapy, so I’m hesitant to reach out to a psychologist again. I don’t think anyone will take the time to read this, and that’s fine, because typing this out already makes me feel a bit better. If you did, thank you and I hope you have a great day :) (posting this is terrifying how do ya’ll do this?😂)

Hey I’m glad that typing that all out really helped! You are so strong and brave for facing this fear of reaching out! I’m glad you found this space to relieve some anxiety! If you ever need or want to talk I’m here for you! Maybe we can brainstorm some ideas of how to start feeling better! Hope you have a great day!

Pretty cool that you have the courage to open up like this; I too just posted my first thread today. It’s a scary endeavor ( I mean think about it, we are putting our hearts out there for everyone to see ) but the thing that makes this app so great is that it’s all for the common good which is HELP, help us help others, to hear and to be heard. Keep your head up. You’re 19, you have sooo much more life ahead of you. Coming from experience, I would definitely reach out to a professional again. I found it helpful and am actually looking for another one right now. Best of luck to you miss. Take care.
