I honestly don't really know who to talk to at the moment. Things have gotten better now that I am on medication for anxiety but I do still feel these episodes of ''low'' and ''high''. They are easier to manage but the lows still suck and make me feel like a bunch of poo. I don't really want people to worry or be disappointed that I am still having these episodes but I am so tired of wearing my happy façade all the time. And my closest companion knows something is up and asks me what is wrong but whenever I try to talk about it, she sort of distances herself like....I dunno. I know she has always been uncomfortable with discussing serious topics but then why ask? I am not mad or anything. A bit sad maybe but I am more confused than anything. I know she cares but it sucks because I would like someone to talk to right now. Bleh. It doesn't help that these low episodes cause my anxiety to spike up so now it feels like something heavy is sitting on my chest.

you can always pm me if you need someone to talk to when you feel like you have no one, because I know the feeling.
you should try and talk to your friend, tell her if you really feel like you should. she's your friend so she should be more comforting. anxiety is a horrible thing, and I used to get feelings like you did a lot, but I took my mind of it by doing things I love. one of those things was drawing. if you enjoy something like that, go ahead. go for a walk, it might help clear up your head a little bit, get things into perspective some more. take your time with things, there's no rush in life. <3 I wish you the best of luck.

i am absolutely terrified right now
oh my gosh, can someone please pm me

pming you now. c:

goodness
i'm nervous for tomorrow
times are overlapping times
wish me luck </3

good luck!
I'm sure you won't even need it, things will end up working out fine. c:
if you can, try and make those times more flexible, so you don't have to stress about them so much. <3

I wann get this off my chest:

I am in the same class with a girl who back stabbed me, one of my friends is going through a lot but I feel like I can't do anything and my group of friends never listen to what I have to say.

The first two I can try to figure out and have hope for but the last thing.

It's what hurts me. I always want to talk about things that I like to my group of close friends but when I do, all but one friend don't listen. I sometimes want to go with the friend to another spot and talk about what I like with them but my friends always drag me back into the spot where they all are and don't listen to me.

I would no longer be friends with them if that's what's going to keep happening but they are the only close friends I have...

Hi there! Practically every second of my life I am experiencing an existential crisis , which often gets worse when I'm isolated. That includes isolated from internet access.
I have a feeling it's due to my anxiety, which has many symptoms for me. Should I try to bring up the matter of fact I {think} I have anxiety to my mother? The school counselor? Because over the past year it's made a life for me which I don't enjoy living, but I want to enjoy the one life I have even though that'd make me even more scared of losing it. It's not a chance everyone has and I feel as if I shouldn't waste it.

I say I think because I will admit to being self diagnosed, for I've been self aware of my symptoms for over 6 months (a year even) at this point and can recall several points earlier in my life in which I had moments of anxiety when I thought it was just common sense.
(I never rode my bike in the street/beside other bikers because I was scared of one/both of us being harmed, I was scared of my grandmas dog when she was a puppy because I was terrified of hurting her, I refused to eat behind everyone including my parents because I was frightful of getting sick.)

Gosh this is probably missing the points I'm trying to make entirely I'm so so sorry. More than anything I'm just, looking for advice..? Should I go see if I can be professionally diagnosed and receive something to help? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to be asking and I'm sorry if anything in my post breaks any rules...

some dudes were catcalling me
we got into a fist fight

I don't feel emotionally traumatised

I bought a really cute journal type textbook and I want to use it for.. journaling I guess? And venting and stuff
I dont know.. people keep saying it's fun, but any time I've tried it felt more like a chore until I forgot to even keep doing it.. and idk am I doing something wrong? I guess I just dont know how to?

I know this isn't really a big problem or anything, but it is making me pretty frustrated.

you're not doing anything wrong, dont worry! i have the same problem, and imo, it just comes down to whether writing down your thoughts works for you or not. it sounds like it just isnt a method for you to put your unsaid words down, so maybe look for something else? i looked up 'alternatives to journaling' and got a few results so maybe you'll find something?

on another note though, if you want to try to keep a journal, maybe make a goal that week, or even just every so often? like maybe at least once a week, you'll write in it about something bothering you or something that happened. or.. maybe write down some personal goals or ambitions you have and chart your progress every so often, even for mundane things like taking out the trash or doing the laundry. it can be anything really! or you could write down ideas you have in your journal and expand on it later when you get a burst of inspiration! there's lots you could do in a journal, and what you write down doesnt have to be necessarily all negative (though it can be if that's what you want to use it for).

Speaking as someone who has been in a similar situation, I think you should try to talk to someone. The thing about anxiety is that it just kind of fills up the empty spaces in your brain and eats away at you, you know? It's not a healthy way to live, and I know that getting help is panic-inducing scary, but you sound like you really want to get better and get through this.
Some tips for having the conversation:
-make sure whoever you talk to is someone you can trust. Your mom sounds like a great person to talk to.
-don't start with, 'i think i have anxiety.' honestly that's just setting the conversation up for failure, because, to most adults, it'll sound like you're jumping on the mental health disorder bandwagon. start by explaining that you've been worried and/or anxious, and that it's gotten to the point where it's seriously impacting your life. say that you want to get help and figure out if there's something that's causing this and ways that it can get better.
-don't chicken out. i know how easy it is to just say, 'nevermind' and walk away, but you'll feel so much better once it's off your chest. you can do this, friend!

hey i'm in the exact same situation
i just kinda sit in the background, i guess me being an introvert is what ruins
that for me.
if you want to, try and get in there and join in on the conversation,
or be like "hey have you guys heard of ___" and see how they react.
you can always find new friends!
just start with small talk, and then be like
"hey, can i sit with you at lunch".
good luck, i hope you find better friends <3

it's not silly!
a fear is a fear.
just think it through, and plan it out.
you'll be fine!
good luck <3

hey, the good news is
you guys didn't stand for it.
i find it disgusting when guys do that.
i hope you're okay,
and treat your knuckles and disinfect it.
as for your fiancés lip, put some ice on it.
good luck <3

instead of talking to me in disgust you could kindly decline
"if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"
did that saying cross your mind? apparently not
i'm so done with how everyone talks to me, internet & real life
oh well i guess i deserve it
