Is this anxiety? Or something else?

Sometimes i wonder if I really have anxiety or if there is something else wrong with me. Today has been a bad day for me.

I was woken up by a text message this morning, my friend was at my door. So of course, i let her in. I took her out to eat because I haven't seen her in months. Last time we had hung out, we were having some disagreements over money.

I was fine while we were eating and when i first got home, but after watching some videos on youtube of Les Mis I started to feel... wrong? I always worry that maybe i have low blood sugar, but I ate... Still, i was worried. After sitting there and feeling anxious for a good ten minutes I scrambled to the kitchen to wash some dishes, trying to get my mind off of how i felt ( like my brain was going to give out on me, dizzy ).

I dropped the dish i was cleaning and broke it in half. My friend left after that and i laid in bed. I was scared and pretty much started crying ( which i hate to admit, lol ). Then i took a shower and after that I was a little bit better, but then i ate and i was okay for a few hours i guess.

After that i was just in a bad mood and have been all day. I didn't want to be around my family or anything. I decided that i'd do my hair and make up.. maybe looking pretty would pick up my spirits.. well i was short fused and got frustrated. Finally, i just went to sleep and took a three hour nap.

When i woke up my shoulders felt really heavy and i had to force myself to wake up. I guess i feel some " brain fog " and very disoriented and wrong. I hate this feeling.. I never used to feel like this when i woke up...

The thing is i dont feel anxious per say... just crazy symptoms that make me anxious. So is it anxiety or do i have a medical problem? PLease help..

Hm... That doesn't really sound like an anxiety thing. What were your psychological symtoms? Heartbeat? Sweaty? Etc? Bc that would be more of like how a panic attack would be. Yours almost sounds like you are getting sick or something. How do u feel now?

what did you eat when you went out?

I didn't think of that... Maybe food poisoning

I don't think anxiety is a set of given symptoms - I think it can manifest differently for different people.

Does this happen often, that you have days where you are "off"? It sounds like there are periods where you felt almost debilitated by this "low"/"off" mood.

Also, have you experienced anything stressful lately? Something that may have set this stuff off?

I would suggest that you get some tests done? I know of some people who have had similar problems because they had low vitamin D and B12 issues.

I wouldn't take lightly something that makes it difficult for you to function. But I do agree that NOT calling it "anxiety" may help too -- because sometimes the lack of label leaves you freer to work out what's really happening...

I wish you all the best!

I'm better now. I don't feel like I'm going to die . Lol. I didn't sleep at all last night & I got four hours of sleep, but I feel great. Idk. I'm probably just going to die.

A hamburger. Cheese . Pickles. Onions. Lettuce . Mayo. And some fries .

When I lived at my Dad's I felt like this every day, but now it's only once and a while. I just got a job and that's been stressing me out .. Along with some friend drama. & then of course the family situation ...

I really hope it's just anxiety... I hate the doctors lol.
