Anxiety seems to be getting bad again.
I can barely do anything besides sleep or play video games, do art, listen to music, and watch videos because I feel constant anxiety and the second i’m left alone with my thoughts all hell breaks loose and I feel myself getting a panic attack and my forehead gets clammy/sweaty and my whole body starts tingling in a pins and needles type way. I don’t know what to do. I’m medicated for it and have been for I think 2-3 months now? I started with 25mg of Pristiq and then bumped up to 50mg after about 2 hospital visits in which only turned out to be anxiety attacks, but of course my mind convinced me that my body was having a heart attack. I just am at a loss on what to do. I try to talk to my mom about it and she’s the best and worst person to talk to cause at times she understands and knows exactly what to say to calm the anxieties but other times she makes it worse. I feel like I’m wasting my life away constantly worrying like this. I’m only 17 years old but if I don’t stop this now I’m afraid I never will. If anybody has any advice, please let me know.
