Hi all,
First of all thanks for having this great forum.
I was wondering where to talk about my current situation and thought to give this forum a try. Hopefully someone can help me.
Just a bit of background, I'm 36 years old, happily married for 11 years and have a good job in IT. I've always had anxiety specially sexual performance anxiety and social anxiety but I've never found it affecting my overall mood/life. Now for the past two weeks I've been feeling vey down and unhappy. I've been worried about my family overseas due to Pandamic and work is a bit hectic these days too which I think might be the reason which triggered all this.
It started from feeling guilt that happened years ago even some bad memories from my childhood came back to annoy me. It hit me hard as I tend to dwell on negative thoughts but it just went down hill from there. I started to crying for no reason and just felt really upset. Then my thoughts started to get darker and for the first time in my life I started experiencing intrusive thoughts and nightmares about those thoughts . It really freaked me out to the point that I'm really scared of anything sharp like knives and my anxiety is through the roof now thinking why am i going through this. My mind is racing with thoughts and I'm exhausted. I would appreciate any help or advise that can calm my mind. I'm planning to see my GP soon.
