I have been experiencing extreme anxiety for almost two weeks now. I’ve had anxiety before, but nothing like this. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t eat, drink or sleep, and I am in a constant state of panic. I am a poor, young college student and I don’t have insurance to help me pay for a stay in a hospital, but I fear that if I don’t go something horrible will happen or I will damage my health irreparably
My spouse is becoming more and more frustrated with my mental state. He tries to be kind and supportive, but I can tell it upsets him to see me this way. He doesn’t want to take me to the hospital because we don’t have money, and I can’t afford to take time off of work at all.
I don’t know what to do. I’m scared, sick, exhausted but can’t sleep, and I feel like I need to go to a mental hospital.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
