Do you think I suffer from anxiety?

Question

This is a little rant please help me out I'm a teenager and when I go out in public and walk I'm always looking at the floor. I don't walk straight, super insecure sometimes and then other times I'm feeling myself(no joke) when people talk to me I feel like crying for some reason I just feel over whelmed a lot by just talking. When there's a lot of people close to me I feel suffocated. I think I have anxiety but I'm not sure what do you think :(

Answer

It sounds like you might be an introvert. When you're introverted being around people can be exhausting and you need time to yourself to recover.

Answer

This sounds more like typical teenage hormones/ antisocialness. I mean I'm not saying you don't have anxiety but in all honesty it doesn't sound like it to me. I have anxiety and experience soooo much more than just the urge to cry/ not being comfortable around people. Yet again, no body needs to freak out an attack me, Bc for all I know you do have anxiety. It manifests in many different ways. But until you've been to a therapist/ get out of your teen years, I would just assume it's normal teenage stuff. Either seek help, or find ways to cope. Breathing exercises usually help me, or even just going to the bathroom to calm down a little before handling people. I also smoke marijuana to control my anxiety/depression/mood disorders, but I wouldn't really suggest that unless you get a medical card.

Answer

Maybe social anxiety, but the label matters very little. The real question is what are you planning to do about it?

Answer

Sounds like social anxiety to me.

Answer

Honey don't ever feel bad for that. You're a teenager and unfortunately I think all teenagers go through that. You will more than likely grow out of it. Just know and never forget that you're perfect the way you are

Answer

I have severe social anxiety, as well as generalized anxiety. I hate going out into public & I have panic attacks unless I'm with someone I trust. I take Cymbalta for my anxiety & I should also be on Ablify but I couldn't afford it. Due to how bad my anxiety is, I've been deemed disabled. I've had these things since I was a teen. I'd panic just talking on the phone. Anxiety can be truly debilitating...

Answer

Maybe you're just shy? It's fine, don't worry so much about what people think about you and just do you. Most people are too busy worrying about themselves anyways🙂

Answer

I have depression and anxiety and have had them since I was a teenager (I'm 36 now). It sounds to me mostly like depression but I would urge you to find a therapist for a real diagnosis. Hang in there!  You will learn to manage. 😉
