Hi all,
This is my first post here. Hope to get some help...
Last week my husband and I were watching tv and I out of nowhere suddenly felt a racy heart beat, deep breathing, suddenly burst out crying badly not knowing why. All the negative incidents keep playing a loop in my mind and cant get over them easily. I had lot of trouble pushing myself up to go to work the next couple of days.
Over the last 6 months or so I have been having phases of highs and lows- terrible mood swings- during my highs i feel excitement, motivated and also have a racy heartbeat and sometimes body shivers. And during my dull phase its crying spells, lethargic, frustrated, angry and feeling hopeless. This has been going on for a while now and each phase stays for a week or so till i feel okay. Never really asked for a help but now feel the symptoms are getting worse..
Its been 3 years in Australia- I have always been a reserved/introvert/ sensitive person but now i don’t like talking to people, get really intimidated by people and scared, avoid a conversation and just like to be alone. Talking to people gives me jitters and shivers. Nothing seems to interest me and i feel detached from my parents/ friends. cant seem to bond with anybody- hardly have one or two friends here. Hate doing household chores and feel everything i do takes so much of my effort which wasn't the case before.
Sometimes i feel i get detached from the surroundings. Weird sensation, feels like a dream/ surreal? For a few seconds/mins not aware of the surroundings, during that time the light seems very bright all of a sudden and cant understand where I am? its feels weird but i'm unable to explain what i feel.
I was diagnosed with depression when i was 17, had come out of it with the help of meds. Never had anxiety then. Now i'm 26 and cant seem to figure out what i have now is anxiety or could it be relapse of my depression? I'm feeling nervous to type this post as well as its my first post in here.
Thanks!
