Hello & Welcome, Shrinkingviolet88.

My experience is that although some people will be supportive of someone discussing mental health issues, many will not. Consequently in my own case I share that knowledge on a strict need-to-know basis.

Your symptoms could indicate anxiety and/or depression. Nevertheless, it would be valuable to rule out other possible physical causes. Does your situation permit seeing a medical doctor and having a full medical workup that doesn't presume the existence of mental health issues?

Please make yourself at home here.
