⚡️Anxiety ⚡️

So lately I’ve come to terms with the fact that I have really, really bad anxiety. I’ve been in nursing school for two years (I graduate in May THANK GOD!!) and I can kinda determine it as the cause of why it got so bad. Some mornings I’ll wake up and be nervous or dreading something but I just don’t know what that something is, and usually it’s nothing. My whole day yesterday consisted of my heart racing, chest pain and nausea that just wouldn’t go away even when I used my “coping mechanisms” (as they call them in nursing school 😛) like going to the gym, listening to music and spending time with my boyfriend. I refuse to take medication again as my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin in November (they claimed I had depression but I don’t think it was chronic, moreso your every day type of stuff.. I’m overweight and upset about that, but I would rather handle it in other ways like yoga or the gym instead) and it made me feel like I was on speed.. I literally couldn’t even focus.. idk how i even drove a car. Sometimes I feel like I’m a burden because of it and that nobody around me truly understands how it feels to be anxious 24/7.. I beat myself up a lot emotionally and I don’t know how to stop it. So, just curious how some of you deal with your anxiety and try to control it instead of letting IT control YOU.
