I posted a thread about a nasty situation in a relationship a couple of weeks ago. I was very stressed out by it and felt awful and down and sad.
Before this, I was a bit anxious and on edge around my partner too.
Before that, I was in a different awful relationship for a few years.
Now, I seem to have some days, today being one, where I feel panicky, stressed, tearful, heart beating too fast randomly, frightened really, like the feeling something terrible has happened or is about to happen but nothing has. I just feel really scared. I don't know what this is. It doesn't seem to fit anxiety or depression and I don't want to feel like this. I don't know what will help if anything. My Mum has told me it could be what happens after stress, like a fight or flight response when things are calmer your body/mind kind of doesn't know what to do and stress hormone levels are high but not going anywhere as the source of the stress has gone. I have been off work today and haven't done anything. No motivation, even though I have things that needed to be done. I usually exercise too and I haven't done that. I am too scared and embarrassed to talk to anybody in real life about it and even if I did I dont think it would help, nobody can change this.I'm worried about my mental health. I just feel very scared. It feels pathetic. I know people have far worse things going on :(
