Is it normal to have sporadic mood changes, anxiety etc.

I do that too, just last week I was in the worst of moods. I was crying for no apparent reason, feeling worthless like I didn't have a future and I smoked some cigarettes, I don't even smoke. I took some anti histamine tablets so that they would make me drowsy so I could just sleep the night and day away hoping that when I did wake up all the feelings would fall way but it didn't. Sometimes I worry my confliction with bulimia will kill me so when my heart beats really fast I suddenly start to worry about dying and I obsess over it and cry because I will genuinely believe I am going to die and these emotions are irrational deep down I know it. Today I managed to get out of the bad space I was in for the past week. What changed between today and last week that caused me to feel well again? nothing so I just don't understand why I get these week long anxiety attacks. Don't you ever wish you could escape your own mind? I do. If you need someone to talk to by all means private message, I could use someone to talk to. cheers

I used to be this way and it turned out I had an absorptive disorder and chronic constipation. I was just always uncomfortable and lethargic, and trying to keep up with everybody and perform well was very stressful.

I think 20-somethings tend to eat all wrong. I know I did. Fast food doesn't contain what you need, so make sure you are eating right. Don't drink soda, especially diet. Eat more vegetables, fruits and lean meat, fish and poultry. Exercise regularly. Get out and socialize and do things. Find ways to get relaxed at night so you can turn off your swirling thoughts ad go to sleep. Relaxation training with biofeedback is very helpful.

Decide you are going to live and enjoy the people you enjoy spending time with and the activities you enjoy. Figure it out and don't waste your youth with anxiety. Exercise can get rid of bad energy and thoughts. So can working outside in the sunshine. Take up gardening or hiking or mountain climbing, etc. LIVE! Plan out how you want your life to be and do it. 95% of what we worry about never happens, so what good is worrying?

its normal - especially at this time. go on YouTube and look up "signs of ascension". when watching the video you might hear a lot of things that you are going through now.

See a neurologist first to rule out if this is being caused by something neurological and then go see a therapist.

Although i agree with your second comment, Mille, what you said is only possible for someone who does not have an Anxiety Disorder. I have an Anxiety Disorder and it is simply impossible for me to "just stop" when i am having anxiety. That is why i have medications and a therapist.

I find that most of these feelings are self inflicted. Every person who described such attitudes had a childhood where they felt parents didn't care for them...something like not being disciplined enough and acting out gave the response you were looking for. Maybe they were too strict and still, in a similar but different way, your acting out gave the right response.

However life throws a curve when you're faced with the reality of people who don't care how you act, you don't get what you want. Kind of like: Mom protected you from bullies which made them bully more. This usually turns to you being anxious about strangers. They read your feelings and now see you as strange because they've done nothing to you. You interpret that feeling they give you, which is a result of the signals that you sent to them, and relate that to your earlier life of being bullied. Knowing that you have no protector, whether it's because you recognize the transformation into maturity or because you don't, or because your "protector" is no longer....all of these feelings happen in split split seconds bombarding you with different feelings and instead of categorizing and sorting through the ones you need and don

Thank you David, i have been prescribed Alprazolam and Prozac. I am starting to take prozac daily and take the Alprazolam whenever i am feeling panicky. The thing is i don't know...i get into these phases of mind where i think something is totally wrong and i get a sense of doom and as if i am not myself...i don't know what's wrong with me but i will start to keep a journal.

you might have an anxiety disorder...evryone experiences a little anxiety but a lot is a sign something is wrong....first try counseling and see how that goes...dont expect immediate relief...it takes a couple weeks befoe you notice...keep a mood chart...it helps because we forget easily..if you are having panic attacks you probably need some meds until you feel better...use low doses unless it isnt working

I would highly encourage seeking the help of a mental health professional. The above description sounds a bit like Borderline Personality Disorder.
