I'm 21 and over the past year I've found myself feeling really anxious and depressed. I don't go out anymore and as much as I want to I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm just so fed up with diabetes and how it affects my moods and no-one around me understands. I constantly get the word lazy thrown at me. It's not that I'm lazy I do want to go out it's just when it comes to it I can't. I have a constant sick worrying feeling. My friends say I'm more like a granny than a 21 year old and it's affecting my relationships with them. I've isolated myself from everything. Anyone else ever feel like this ?
I'm not type 1, but have had the horrible symptoms of anxiety.
My daughter has general anxiety disorder.
You are not lazy, you are normal as anybody else but have anxious feelings.
What to do? Well, you do need to speak to someone who has experience in dealing with anxiety sufferers. Your GP or medical team, clinic, can recommend someone to talk to, counselling will help you tremendously.
They will help in the constant self assessing of asking yourself questions about what you are doing, you can't help it, the avoidance of situations, they will guide you through it, you are not alone!
They will try and give you the confidence to become your old self.
Everyone needs help, you just have to ask, like going the shop for milk or chocolate!!!!!
Don't do nothing! You have done great coming onto the forum, looking for advice, make that decision to talk to someone.
Best wishes, I wish you well!
