Anxiety Support Group
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 developed really severe anxiety after a very traumatic event, and I've been struggling with it for a while now. I get a little better bit by bit, but then a just get shoved back down again :/ Unfortunaly I feel like my family is a part of this. They think since I'm a teenager in just dramatic and kind of shy, but I know that can't be right. I'm scared all the time, I don't even know why. My friend got stitches in her knee the other day. I was fine with it, and I really had no issues at all. But all of a sudden the people came out, and I started trembling. I could feel my heart thumping in my chest, it felt like I couldnt touch anything since I was scare people could see me shaking. I couldn't even hold a cup with one hand. I'm not just dramatic right? If I need help I want it, I'm tired of being like this......
1. Slender young girls can get anxiety I think from some kind of malnutrition. Fatter girls don't get it the same but the very thin ones can have it badly. If you are very slim, take a multivitamin, or drink a beer a day. Something to give yourself b-complex vitamins, and enough calories to withstand shocks. ---------------
2. Teenagers have the ability to psych themselves into and out of things. So they can wind themselves up emotionally, and also wind themselves down. You'll see one girl working herself into hysterics about something she saw on facebook - and then you'll see another teenager winding other people up using ghastly ideas and images, toughing it out herself and laughing at the effect she has on other teenagers. In short: teenies are suggestible. And they are auto-suggestible. -----------------
Those 2 things above mean that it can take some time before anyone around you takes you particularly seriously. Their first moves will involve resolving those two options. They will tell you to sleep. They will try to get you to eat. And they will try to manoeuvre your psyche by telling you not to be a wuss or giving you a teaspoon of cement. -------------------
But what I'm seeing with you is that you've sustained some shocks and you're getting aftershocks unexpectedly. You need time to cure from a big shock. People around you probably won't know this unless they've sustained on themselves at some point. They think you will just bounce back. But perhaps you can't. If you haven't managed to bounce back after 3 months, then get yourself to a doctor and explain the situation. You might need a hand getting out the other side of this. -------------
