Hey guys. I’ve never really struggled with anxiety because it’s always felt like something I could control; I’ve always been an over thinker and worrier but I guess that would be pretty normal.

I’m a uni student and over the past 4 months I’ve had time to reflect on how bad I was living. I hadn’t eaten fruit or vegetables in that time, I was eating a meal a day (usually McDonald’s or another takeaway) I was drinking no water, no vitamins, and I was constantly staying awake for uni.

Well, who knew that would take a toll? On Friday I had a terrible anxiety build up which made me feel very surreal. Because I was always a worrier I have constantly been thinking about it and scared I would be in that state of mind forever. I had to come home the next day and since then (until yesterday) I had CONSTANT anxiety because I felt so weird. 

Well, thankfully, I now know it’s not GAD or any anxiety disorder because I calmed down, deal with how I usually deal with anxiety, accepted it and my anxiety went away. It’s been spiking a tiny bit but I feel it’s under control, and I haven’t had constant anxiety since yesterday. 

The question is, would that constant state of anxiety do that? Is it common? I want to hear others experience, it was so frightening because I didn’t know what was happening, it’s like I felt so lost, so scared I’d be like that forever; the feeling was kind of like being disconnected except with your emotions, like things that usually make you happy / look forward to just didn’t feel right - nothing did. 

I still somewhat feel like that but I’m not going to worry. It’ll pass, I have my anxiety under control and I feel so much better. I’m not going to get scared or worry and feed it, I’ll just let time do it’s thing.
