I've been trying to tackle my anxiety and go see friends loads to overcome feeling down, using the principle of Susan jeffers' 'Feel the fear and do it Anyway' and it's really working. I know I have great friends and loads of time to have fun. The only problem is, I'm getting invited out a LOT, and it's always late at night. Late nights seem to catch up to me quickly but my mum refuses to believe I'm too tired when I say I want to give it a miss, she keeps assuming it's anxiety/depression and telling me to go out otherwise she starts guilt-tripping me about taking friends for granted, losing everyone I love, feeling sorry for myself etc.
So lately I have just done as she said and rode right through the pain barrier/fatigue, I've been doing so for around 5 days now. And it's a big problem-my breathing now feels very laboured on top of just being tired and more panicky, it's genuinely difficult running up stairs, and I've been getting some iffy chest pains. I dunno if it's just an anxiety thing, it's probably mild sleep deprivation, or it could be my health starting to be impacted by this/the binging (although I've lost 'weight' from all of this). Is this normal? I'm scared and she won't help me because she doesn't think it'll help :/ what do I do?
