I just wanna go here to tell someone that I feel like I'm having anxiety attacks for the past few weeks. This is definitely not medically diagnosed.
Most of the time, I'm feeling fine - working from home and spending time with my family (we're still home quarantining - for safety purposes). But when I get to spend time with just myself, my brain starts running its course by checking every part of my body if something feels off. After this, if I felt something - even just a tiny bit - I'll start searching google for symptoms like that and I will start getting scared on what if what I'm feeling was something serious. This will go on for at least an hour and I go back to my daily business. Sometimes, I just lose track of time and wouldn't have enough attention to go back to my routine.
Is this an effect of being home for the longest time and being in the middle of a pandemic? Before all of this (or at least the first months of the quarantine), I was fine! I love that I have all the time to myself and even just stay in my room for hours. Now, I moved my 'office area' to our living room so that there'll be people around me all the time and recently, I've been sleeping near my mom as it makes me more calm (since I have these "attacks" mostly at night, before I sleep - I get scared that I won't wake up from my sleep, therefore, not being able to sleep at a decent time).
Do you have any tips on how can I get over this? I feel like it's taking over my life, and I don't like it π
