Please Tell me I am insane or I am right to worry about it
Its copied from my diary. I am having an anxiety now. Hello diary, I just want to write down about a anxiety attack which I am having right now. Its not severe but still it's very bad . I am trying to control my mind now. Maybe And I have Somewhat lessened it. It would have been a full blown panic attack by now if it was 1-2 months earlier but after knowing what it is and after getting help from so many mental health websites posts I know thats its may be not rooted in reality. But after writing this sentence I am having an anxiety that what if it's rooted in reality? Most of the peoples anxiety may not be practical but that doesn't mean that my anxieties are impractical. I don't know . I want to write down what I am fearing now. So I am in a group in telegram about mental helath help etc. And one guy in the name of 'Dr . Strange' texted a long message about his/her problem how he/she is feeling bad etc. But only but one person replied that too only with ' I understand' remark . And none said a word. I felt bad and I wanted to write some consoling words to him. But I have a anxiety about internet privacy. So I was anxious to write and first but then I wrote in the group. He thanked me . And after a while asked me where I am from. My anxiety started rolling. I didn't want to write where I was from in a group that too in a mental health group. But he/ she would feel bad if I didn't reply. I must had seen it by now that I saw the message. So I replied but my anxiety started talking over.. I am now having all kind of thoughts...and these thoughts are tough...I dont know how to convince myself. Maybe I should not have replied, maybe I should not have told where I was from. And also the chat will be in the group, in a mental helth group.. What if someone notice.. Like my classmates emranu or someone like that if he ever join in that group ..he will know I am having mental problem..I don't know what to do now.. Why I am so stupid? I should not have given me my country's name in a group like that..

Hii, *sits with you*
You're absolutely okay ! You didn't do anything wrong, you only wanted to help someone feel better and you did that and right on !
I can understand why it must be causing you worry, it's certainly difficult to be open about our personal details on the internet, rest assured we all have our boundaries and have all the right to enforce them ,when needed .
Absolutely alright to tell a person "No" about something you're not comfortable. It may feel we are letting them down or something, but we must keep ourselves first and do what feels right to us .
I am glad you're seeking support with anxiety and I wish you all the best in your journey .
Please always do remember, you're a kind hearted person, who has just as much right to keep them first always .
Sending hugs and love . ❤
Thank you so much ! Your words truly felt like a warm hug 🥺😭 ❤ Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
