Anxiety☹️

Hey so,
I think I’m struggling again at the moment and I have especially noticed it today, just feeling like a burden to everyone and like I have no one to talk to, a few things have upset me and realised that I’m not as okay as I thought I am and still have a long way to go.
In theory, I’m doing well but I think sometimes people mistake doing well with just functioning, and I think with myself I definitely find the two confusing.
I am not particularly low but I am really anxious today and I’m trying to decide whether I want to try to keep myself in an okay mindset or not. Which is so contradictory as I know what’s best for me but I also know whats the easiest.
Other things are going on health wise which is causing the anxiety to suffer as I worry a lot about my health even if nothing is actually wrong. It makes me just feel like I don’t care, and makes it difficult to look after myself.
Just needed the rant, trying to stay distracted and hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow 💓

i agree with what others have said above
Just feel like it’s a losing battle anxiety wise as last night, woke up to what I think was a panic attack. Didn’t sleep at all, and today it’s like I’m just in my head like I’m not very calm.
Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep better tonight though x
