My name is Steve. I am 20. I think It is safe to say I have anxiety. My life has been traumatic in the past 4 years, and it has affected me. I smoke weed and cigarettes to deal with my stress, but recently the stress has been unbearable. A couple weeks ago my younger sister had to be rushed to the hospital because she had a drug overdose and it opened up a pandora's box of anxiety. Ever since then, I have felt jumpy. I cannot stay in one place for more than a brief period of time. I find myself sleeping places other than my apartment such as my parents' house and sometimes not even sleeping at all, finding myself at a coffee place or a diner at 5 in the morning. I feel like I have to rush everything, even if I should not be in any rush. Things that never bothered me much before have been driving me nuts. I feel distanced from my friends, roommates, and family. Anybody here experience similar symptoms? Thanks
