I'm worried that I am getting into some depressive/anxiety episode.
I feel rundown, sensory stimuli seems to be louder/brighter etc. and induce nausea, walking in public gives me sensory overload which makes me have a panic attack, the panic attack leaves me exhausted and feeling hopeless and then I spend the rest of the day in bed napping to recover.
I haven't managed to get an essay in for three whole weeks and as I have 2 essays a week it is becoming a bit of a problem. I spent last week back home resting with my tutor's permission but I'm back at uni now and have had 2 panic attacks, some big 'I'm overwhelmed' cries and I already feel worn out again.
I have no motivation to leave my room and am too brain fuzzy to get my work done. My mum is telling me to just get on with the work as I'll feel bad/rundown whether I do it or not. I just can't seem to do it though and my body keeps focusing on what's wrong with it.
I also have had an IBS flareup recently and am failing to eat enough as I feel nauseous all the time.
I'm not sure what to do. I'm not on antidepressants atm (Although I am on nausea tablets which are anti-psychotics and which are often prescribed as a short-term anti-anxiety med)
When I have the panic attacks I don't feel anxious I just feel overwhelmed by sensory stimuli.
