How do you guys deal with anxiety/social anxiety?
The weird part is that I’m not even an introvert. A couple of years ago something happened, and ever since then I feel like I’ve changed completely. I’ve tried therapy, routines, breathing exercises, distracting myself, pretty much everything, but nothing really fixes it.
What usually happens is in the morning. I’ll be completely fine after breakfast and getting ready, feeling productive and ready for the day, and then suddenly I get this awful drop in my stomach out of nowhere. Instantly I feel like canceling everything, going back to bed, putting on my comfort shows, and avoiding the world for the rest of the day.
It gets worse before classes, meetings, or even meeting people sometimes. The same thing happened last week and today before a class, and the anxiety got so intense that it physically hurt.
Does anyone else experience this sudden switch from being completely okay to wanting to disappear from everything?
