Hello, I have been struggling to focus on school recently.

I always had a bit of overthinking issues and anxiety issues but they were really minor

Things got a little worse (still not too bad) when I became an international student at college, especially during school breaks 

Fast forward through covid, like last month I met someone and I’ve been talking with her like everyday since and I thought it was going good, but recently shes been more dry texting and that didn’t really help with the overthinking problem. Also I know its stupid worrying about stuff like this but Even if I try not to it just keeps lingering in my brain 

Then, last thanksgiving break (last week) I couldn’t do any work because when I tried to sit in the chair and try to work I kept feeling like throwing up and I kept breathing too fast and couldn’t stand still

Then I realized that I have no friends or anyone to talk to and that just made me feel worse and now I spend like 3 hours a day just in bed doing nothing and I feel really bad about myself about it

Then I built up the courage to talk to my roommate (he is the only irl friend that I really talk to often) then he said it sounds like a panic attack and I should see a psychiatrist 

The problem is that its not like I had any childhood traumas or anything, while there are plenty of other people who went through a lot of bad stuff, and I don’t know if It was a actual panic attack because I hve heard that people do things like self harming and more serious stuff then what I do so Im unsure if Im just being intolerant of normal feelings that everyone goes through also if I see a psychiatrist what if Im taking opportunity from someone who actually needs help

Sorry for long post I just wanted to vent somewhere where I can feel like im being heard at least
