The story

im so sick of feeling this way all the time. like evry day i wake up n theres this tight feelin in my chest like somethings gonna go wrong. i cant even remember the last time i felt calm or normal, its jus anxious anxious anxious all day long. its not jus anxiety either tho, im angry all the time too. like little things set me off, stuff that shouldnt even matter makes me so mad i could scream. n then i feel guilty for bein angry at ppl who probly dont even kno wat they did. its like theres somethin broken in my head n i cant fix it no matter wat i do.

school used to be alright but now its the worst. i cant concentrate in class, i jus sit there worryin bout stuff i cant control. if the teacher calls on me, i panic, like my mind goes totally blank n i feel like everyones starin at me thinkin im stupid. then when class ends i get angry at myself for not tryin harder, for bein weak, for lettin anxiety win again. i kno i need to calm down but tellin myself that jus makes me even more angry. i jus wanna be normal. i jus wanna not feel like im constantly gonna explode or cry or both at the same time.

my friends r startin to notice too i think. like they ask me whats wrong n i dont even kno wat to tell them. how do u say "im jus anxious n angry all the time for no reason" without soundin crazy?? so instead i jus say "im fine" even tho we all kno im not. n sometimes they say stuff like "just chill" or "u gotta relax" n it makes me mad cuz dont they kno if i could jus chill i would?? they dont get it. nobody gets it. its like im alone even when im wit ppl. n then im mad at myself for bein lonely too, like why cant i jus be grateful i even hav friends who care enough to ask.

i kno i probly need help but i dont even kno where to start. talkin to my parents feels impossible cuz they jus say stuff like "its jus a phase" or "stop bein dramatic." but wat if its not jus a phase? wat if im stuck feelin anxious n angry forever? i dunno how much longer i can keep pretendin everythings ok when its rlly not. im jus tired, like rlly tired. tired of feelin this way n tired of fightin wit myself all the time. i jus wish someone could understand how hard it is, how it feels like im losin myself a little bit every single day.

hey there, i get ur point but honestly feels like maybe u overthinking it a bit, u know? like, everybody got stress, right? sometimes ya just gotta take a chill pill and ride the waves, dude. i ain't sayin it ain't hard but maybe try not to focus on it so much, yeah? feels like a lotta drama for real, but hey, if u think ur trippin, maybe talk to someone who could actually help? just saying, don't let it bog ya down too much, life's got plenty to offer if ya give it a shot. peace out.

hey, sounds like you're going through a rough patch, huh?? the whole anxiety and anger situation is like an emotional rollercoaster and it ain't no fun ride!!!! people sometimes throw around “just chill” and it feels like they're speaking a different language, right?? you’re spot-on about needing support, and while your parents might call it a phase, it doesn’t change how real it feels for you!!!! reaching out to someone who gets this kind of emotional workload, like a pro in mental health, might just make a world of difference!!!!! remember, you’re not stuck in this forever; things actually can turn around, yeah!?? just keep pushing ahead and hang in there!!! you got more strength than you give yourself credit for!! 😎

honestly, i get where you're coming from when you say you feel like "something's broken in your head" because i've been there too. dealing with perpetual anxiety and anger feels like navigating through a storm without any guidance, doesn't it? believe me, when people say "just relax," it's like they're speaking from another planet; it’s frustrating how they can't grasp the intensity of what you're dealing with. i've felt that suffocating confusion where concentrating on tasks seems impossible, and the expectations of others only add to the pressure, making you feel inadequate. it really does seem like a vicious cycle that's hard to break, and hearing "it's just a phase" from parents can feel dismissive and invalidating, like your struggles aren't real.


back when i was dealing with something similar, i sought professional guidance, though it seemed daunting at first. it was like acknowledging that "okay, this is beyond just stress." while you've probably heard this a million times before, reaching out to someone who can genuinely help might actually change the narrative, and no, it’s not just empty advice. still, i get that it's difficult to believe things will get better immediately, given how overwhelming it all feels. just don’t lose hope, even when doubt clouds your judgment.
