Can someone tell me what's wrong with me?

Question

I have a stress issue. i was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and agorophobia (fear of outside/large places w/ people). i really dont like people. when im around anyone, my friends, bf, even my parents, i get this little anxiety feeling. school is absolute hell: i dread getting to school the second i wake up and its all i think about on the bus, i have a hard time sitting in class, i come home and all i can think about is the next day, which makes me have bad dreams which makes me wake up anxious, etc. im not bullied at school or anything, i jus dread sitting in quiet classrooms with lots of people around me. i dread going to the fair, movies, dentist appointments etc. i have lots of friends which is a problem, because i always have to go places (yes, "have" not "get to") i get good grades, dont do drugs, blahblah. recently ive stopped feeling. yes, i just stoped. i dont get happy at christmas or mad when people lose my things. my mom keeps telling me to smile. i really only feel

sad. or nothing. ill stare at things with a totally blank face. I have a funny time breathing sometimes, like my lungs are heavy. I don’t enjoy anything, and I do things which I should be enjoying immensely. im not suicidal and I don’t cut, I don’t feel murderous, and im not taking any medications. I get migraines a lot. I never talk to anyone about my problems? is that a problem? I went to a therapist but I got so anxious about sitting in a small quiet room with a person. when I get like that my insides don’t work, I cant digest food and I throw up, which is a REAL problem. I feel tired: constantly. all day long, from when I get up to when I fall asleep. I don’t drink much caffeine and I exercise, but not a whole lot or enough to make me tired. I think its all the energy I spend on being anxious, because I sometimes fall asleep within the hour I get home from school. I don’t have hope. whats my problem, people?

Answer 1

You may need to see a psychologist to talk about this, or even look into some medical treatment for generalized anxiety disorder. You are not alone, and these things are not your fault, sometimes it can be your brain chemistry or even hormones.

Read this and see if it sounds like what you are experiencing.

Answer 2

You definately have the signs and symptoms of social anxiety, I am also curious if you have ever experienced any form of trauma in your life? All anxiety disorders pretty much revolve around fourteen or so symptoms (see the DSM IV TR for specifics). You could definately benefit from seeing a psychiatrist and getting on some form of medication (due to the fact that you have symptoms everyday, it sounds, they will probably not put you on any benzodiazepine tranquilizers, they may try and SSRI such as Paxil or Zoloft or Prozac, they may even try Inderal, a beta blocker, which decreases the physical symptoms of anxiety-rapid heart rate, sweating, tremors, shakiness, etc., but talk with a doctor about these, they know what will work best for you) Also, going to see a therapist would be helpful as well (conventional wisdom states that a combination of psychiatric support and medications as well as psychotherapy is most effective.). They may discuss things such as your thought process, being able to minimize situations, or decatastrophizing, addressing mistaken beliefs, "what if" thinking, exploring why everything has to make you so anxious, how bad are things around you really, making comparisons, exposure therapy, why do you not like people-has someone betrayed/rejected you, did you grow up in a supportive, loving, home environment, are all the people you meet really as bad as you think they are (distorted thinking), addressing irrational beliefs, etc. Also, not feeling yourself is considered depersonalization/derealization, it is one of the signs of anxiety/panic attacks. You may also want to look at why you are indifferent to things around you (everything is blah, avoiding people, not wanting to deal with people, etc.). This may point to a struggle within your own character, or personality; this occurs from lack of parental availability, love, safety, connection, etc. Just some things (probably too many) to ponder and hopefully discuss with some professionals, there is hope and you do have strength, talking about it here means you have motivation and that is the first step. Good Luck.

i feel like that sometimes, especially at school between classes when everybody is in the halls and you have to be in close contact with people you dont know or like. Try emptying your mind if at all possible( before bed, and when you start to feel overwhelmed), it works for me. If that doesnt work try staying close to 2 or 3 of your closest friends when youre around large groups of people. it really helps if you have a few people around to distract you from the anxiety.

Answer 4

so some distance as I even have been advised they are no longer meant to declare how precise the intercourse of the toddler is as this could bring about a well being middle or well being practitioner being sued. No technician is meant to declare a hundred% that it rather is a toddler they are in basic terms meant to declare 50% danger via fact the umbilical cord or the rest won't be giving a clean image on the intercourse of the toddler. i did no longer choose to renowned the intercourse as I in basic terms needed it to be healthy and chuffed whether it replaced right into a toddler.

Answer 5

You asked us to tell you what's wrong but then your first sentence was:

"I have a stress issue. i was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and agorophobia"

Answer 6

I suggest you go to your school counselor and ask for help, they may refer you then to psychologist they know. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
