Anxiety

This unknown anxiety has snuck up on me and has grabbed ahold.   I don't know why I'm anxious...but I am.

I just have the urge to stop, and avoid everything. I just want to run.   I know it's not practical, but running from the stressor seems like my only option.

I've tried relaxing, meditating, and just ignoring it but nothing keeps it away.

I feel trapped in this anxiety bubble.  If I ignore it, I stay anxious..but if I give in, I'll feel like crap for doing so..

It's the double edged sword of anxiety my

Night time thoughts

It's 11:45 pm and  My thoughts are constantly circling my head like vultures around a carcus.  This time it's...you're overreacting. It's like a nonstop argument going on in my head and I'm in the middle trying to pick a side.  From one side, it's screaming at me that I'm overreacting and I will ruin everything...Yet the other side is saying that it's perfectly rational and I need to stop this madness and relax.  And yet no matter how hard I try, I can't pick a side. I'm just left wallowing in the middle, becoming a more confused as the time clicks away, waiting for a shining light to tell me the answer. I had an image posted in my head as I was trying to fall asleep with these thoughts, and when I couldn't stop thinking about the image, I got up just to draw it.  I'm no artist but it is much more than I could have hoped for.  Now I might finally rest.  Still waiting for my "saving grace" to answer my original question.... Am...

How my anxiety and depression shows.

 Obviously a lot of my posts discuss my problems with my depression and anxiety, but this is how they show outwardly. Depression I tend to withdraw even more than normal,  not wanting anything other than rest.  I won't want to move or do anything extra.  my appetite will start to swing from a lack of appetite to me binging when I do get hungry.  My anger starts appearing once the depression becomes too much at times, and finally, after awhile of dealing with it, I go completely emotionally numb, I cry spontaneously,  and the anxiety becomes more known.   When you see me out and about you wouldn't know beyond the smile and my demeanor and even if you do notice something, my constant fatigue with mask that as fatigue. Anxiety I will look perfectly fine, despite that fact that internally, I'm having a meltdown slowly.  I've perfected the look that will make people believe I'm fine, and I've even perfected the fatigue excuses.  I start by be...

Causes

Depression…It’s spinning around in my head, Constantly demanding attention.   I’m sitting here not doing anything. Thinking constantly what is causing this.   Rejection, boredom, or isolation? I feel like I’ve been rejected, my mind is going two ways on the issue. One side says, “Just wait and don’t jump to conclusions” while the other side says, “Why did you do that? You already know the response”.   While being torn in two, I debate admitting defeat and trying to cover it back up. I begin to gain the courage to say no.   I force myself to leave it up; telling myself it doesn’t matter now.   I tell myself that it could still be any answer, but I still continue stressing about it. Boredom could also be a factor.   I haven’t been working and it’s a new thing for me to face.   I’ve worked every summer since 2009, and all of a sudden I have nothing to do all day but watch Youtube.   It makes me miss work and school;   I need s...
