Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

I have been so sick for months now and I am so tired of feeling this way. I have been experiencing so much difficulty breathing and for the past month and I have not gotten a break (all my breathing tests come up normal tho). I can barely eat or drink anything. Honestly I'm scared and at this point I dont know what to do. I had to quit my job from being so sick and if I don't feel better soon my parents are not going to help me with my tuition payments next semester. They believe that after going to all these doctors and specialists that I should be fine, but I have never felt worse in my life. This is a strain not only on me but on my family and I understand that they are frustrated. I have not felt normal in months but in the last month it has reached an extreme. I don't know what to do. I don't know who to turn to. Literally all hope I have of feeling better bas been lost. I'm honestly just scared at this point. I would give ANYTHING to even feel a quarter normal. I know there's not much anyone can say or do to help but I am just so tired of bottling this up.

Stop. Pause. Breathe.

Take time to do something you enjoy. Stop thinking and start doing.

Put your body back in neutral and just do things.

Put your mind back in neutral and just do things.

Are you in college? What they teach you in college is not that usefull. College are mostly acadmic subjects. It depends what you want to do. After people got a degree, they still cannot find a job or make money. If you want to learn to survives, you need to study business, finance and investing. But some college teaches that. You can learn that from the computer.

Could it be COVID anxiety? Power of suggestion is a strong phenom which is being suggested loudly in every corner of the planet these days.

Just wondering. . . It remains yours to sort.

Keep venting, Alexandra. Your answers are in there.

Having trouble breathing can be very scary. You've done a good job by getting everything checked out physically. Unfortunately people don't understand if they can't visibly see something wrong with a person. You don't feel good so it's very real to you. The breathing difficulties are most likely causing you anxiety because it scares you. Then the anxiety makes it difficult for you to breathe. It's a vicious cycle. You are probably shallow breathing because of all the worry of something being wrong. Changing to slow, deep breathing will help a great deal. If you practice it all the time you will notice that your breathing will calm down and not freak you out as much.

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I was in very similar situation 2 and a half months ago. There is a possibility that your breathing issue is from anxiety, seek treatment for anxiety. Try to eat even one small bite of food or drink. At my worst, I couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep. My husband gave me calming acupuncture treatment and I had a few minutes to eat something quick. Find something to calm you down and try to eat. Your body needs nourishment to get better. Don't lose hope. You will get through this.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
