Am I being stupid and crazy?

So I’ve had anxiety for the last 8 years since my mum getting unwell and passing away and every other eventful traumatic experiences after that. Recently I’ve had this feeling and I’m struggling to explain it or understand it. It started off with loneliness with just me and my son, I’m a very extroverted person in a family of introverts, I moved 3 hours from my home town due to personal reasons but the loneliness hit me 6 months post partum. So the best I can word it is, when ur watching a show and you want to scream at the tv telling them the obvious answer or just want to skip to the end to just know what happens, not sure if anyone understands what I mean, the anxiety you get when ur watching a show or movie? I feel like that in real life experiences and I don’t know how to word it but my hearts so unsettled all the time and I feel anxious over life like my insides are screaming at people, like I’m in a rush. I really don’t think I’m making sense but I’m hoping someone understands what I mean. Like the other day I went to the shops with my family and I felt like my insides wanted to scream or something even if there was no reason to I just felt instantly anxious about something without knowing what it was I was feeling anxious about. And I get flustered and or I feel like a heavy feeling on my chest and stomach. I tried to explain to my sister and she just laughed at me so I feel like I’m being stupid for feeling that way.

That sounds like the flight or fight response. I also have anxiety and get that same rushing feeling so I do know what you mean you’re not alone! Wish I could give you tips to stop that feeling I know how awful it is it’s almost like a suspenseful feeling

@Rachael that’s the word, I feel like I’m in a suspenseful moment 24/7 and I can’t shake it off, I’ve never had this sort of anxiety before so it’s really bothering me as I’ve literally just learnt to deal with my usual anxiety, it’s like one thing after another

I had it really bad ever since I lost my dad to lung cancer I haven’t been stable I went through hell and back and came out with a lot of pent up anger, anxiety, and just feeling lost (I went to my dad for everything we were inseparable) I completely understand and if you ever need someone to talk too please feel free to send me a DM I can talk on here or any other app🫶💜 I hope we can figure it out together
