I'm looking for a possible reason why I've been feeling so strangely lately. For the past couple weeks (2-3) I haven't felt like myself at all. I usually rather enjoy school - now I find myself wanting to ditch class. I usually try to see the lighter side of things and be funny around my friends, but now I talk about the things I don't like or stay silent. I get very frustrated and angry at the slightest provocation.
I understand that this is a pretty short time frame for my attitudes to do a complete 180, which is only confusing me more. In such a short time I've started feeling angry and numb, like I'm looking at my life in 3rd person. I have a lot of home and school stressors in my life and they came to a bit of a head recently, so people in my house have been really on edge. I've never been diagnosed but my family thinks I have an anxiety disorder, as I often stress about small things to the point of painful head- or stomachaches. My family has a strong and recent history of mental illness and emotional problems.
Sorry this post has been a bit all over the place. I'm trying to just lay out all the information that I think could be relevant. Any suggestions for causes as well as coping/fixing suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks
