So last semester, I ended up injuring my knees pretty badly. Because I'm a runner, I took it really hard. Most days I can pull myself together but yesterday I went through a dark spell.
Today, I feel anxious. My chest is tight and my stomach is fluttering. I'm know I have to leave the house soon (I actually should have left about an hour ago) but I can't seem to make myself.
I've experienced this cycle repeatedly since last semester: pulling myself together, having a really bad day (strong feelings of depression), feeling heightened anxiety.
Also, over the winter break, EVERYTHING made me anxious. Such as my parents not being able to figure out where to go to dinner, having to run errands, getting out of bed in the morning, etc.
Does anyone know if this is a byproduct of depression or something else entirely? Does anyone have any advice as to how to deal with this? I'm just not sure where this all is going.
Blessings,
