I’ve always been an anxious person since I was young but this has just gotten out of hand. A little background on me: I’m a 21 year old, female. Since I was 17 I have been moving around from place to place, settling down for a couple months, heading back home for a couple months and then off to somewhere new. I’ve been home now since early July, have a steady job and living situation and just recently became involved in a relationship with a guy I’ve known for years. I have no intentions of leaving the area anytime soon.
My problems started a couple months ago. I’m such an anxious wreak all of the time it’s affecting my work, the relationship I’m trying to get going with this guy I really care about and even the relationship with my family. I’m on edge all the time, I’m paranoid about the most outlandish things, absurdly irritable and on top of it all I have this constant, awful [head feels like it's going to pop, butterflies in my stomach, pressure on my chest] anxiety.
Like I said, I’ve always been anxious and I’ve always been able to deal with it. Jogging or biking is always how I’ve dealt with it in the past but this is just so out of hand. It’s like I’m constantly PMSing (and no, I’m definitely not pregnant.) I have no health insurance and between my bills, food and my dog, I have no money to splurge and see a doctor. I’ve never been a supporter of non-homeopathic medication, I won’t even take pain killers, but at this point..bring on the drugs! Any advice at all would be very, very, very much appreciated.
Also, I realize that it’s all probably a result of being cooped up like this when it’s not what I’m used to but I’ve been unstable for far too long. Stability, my family, my job, this guy; this is all what I really want right now.
I’m not at all ashamed of this, I just quite literally have no money to see a doctor. Unless someone can recommend some kind of low cost way to see a therapist? hah
