Hi All,
I really don't know what's happening to me. It all started a few weeks ago when i watched this horror movie i never should have watched! There was this disturbing scene that had an inordinate affect on me. I have since forgotten about it and no longer think about it at all, but since then i've been suffering from periods of depression and anxiety. I don't know what it is. It is like my sensitivity to thoughts have been heightened. I started to have a lot of morbid thoughts about life and death, like my age, eventually losing my parents, a disease around the corner etc. I'd think about these things for days on end. These were things I usually don't think about and had little affect on me. This was a week ago and i'm no longer thinking these thoughts as intensely now. However, over the past week, i have been suffering panic attacks at night and anxiety for no reason during the day. This is making me feel tired and miserable, to the extent that work and social life has been affected. It's also making me question my mental health. What exactly is going on with me?!!!
A few weeks ago, i considered myself healthy. There hasn't been any traumatic events in my life. I had average upbringing and I do have some social issues but nothing serious. I may have had poor mental health, as i never get enough sleep and probably take too much caffeine. I want to get on with my life and i'm constantly wonder when this hellish period will be over. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
