Yeah that is what my brother said when i was on Winter Break from school but even now in school I feel like I get more anxious maybe because i stress over school? I guess we just need to find a proper balance? For example I have decided to start volunteering at a animal shelter walking dogs maybe you should get a hobby or volunteer? I hope this helps and you get better!

Definitely. The LAST place we need to be is inside our heads. We get lost in there, thinking about stuff and obsessing and wondering what every bodily symptom means. We wonder how and why and what and when. It starts to become like a funhouse and we don't know what is real and what isn't anymore. But this really isn't a bad thing. It is just because we are over-thinkers, which is a sign of intelligence. And over thinking itself isn't a bad thing. But we are worriers too. And the problem with us, is that we start worrying about the stuff we are over-thinking about! lol
Whenever you spend too much time inside your head, things will become distorted. You could pick any word, and say it over and over and over again until eventually it sounds weird or foreign. Well this is what happens inside our head. We become sort of un-grounded and we feel "weird". So we start to worry about that and that and pick it apart and wonder "Why am I feeling this way", "This isn't right," "What is wrong with me?"......We just dwell on it in a really ridiculous way, and this produces more worry which produces more anxiety.
The best thing for us to do, is to use our power for good. lol We are very smart, and we do over think, so instead of wasting it on the garbage inside our head, we need to find a healthy, productive way of using it. One of the reasons I love learning is because it lets me use that over thinking part of my brain and lets me question things in a healthy way. So I am always on the internet learning new stuff and researching it until I know everything there is to know about it. I guess I am a big nerd, because I really love doing that. But again, that is just because I love to over think. If I am watching TV and I question something I see, I write it down and I go look it up and research it at a later time.

Oh my God, I really am a dork , arent I?

But I can't help it, that is what I find entertaining. It makes my brain happy. It lets me over think without it being toxic.

You just need to find some way to use your brain in a healthy way so you can get out of the funhouse! :)

hey
I feel the same way as u! I have been in florida the past year figuring out some health stuff with not much going on. i was diagnosed in sept with dep/anxiety and havebeen taking meds since. I decided to move back to nyc where i come from and my salon is there i leave feb 28th. The closer i get to the date the more anxious i get though. I guess its pretty common any change can trigger anxiety in most! I know once i get back and get busy I will be better off. I m hoping
just wanted to share

boredom is a killer for me.

I am at my worst when I am home and it is quiet. I constantly need to distract myself so I don't spin up. :)

If that is a trigger for anxiety for you, good. Now you know to do something about it. Right? Either you stay bored and have anxiety or you find fun and pleasurable things to do to get out of it>

Boy do I agree with you all especially Lilygirl. Thanks for letting me know what was right in front of my eyes.
