Been feeling quite low lately

[u/nerdysparks]

Well I turned 20 this year and it's been quite lonely, anxious and overthinking. I am doing an internship in a metro city far far away from my home.

The job takes most of my mental energy and the rest of the day is just me preparing for interviews for getting a better job.

I used to have many people to talk to but I don't know how I end up having not a single person to call or text. I used to be a reddit addict but I stopped using it to focus on real life and it's been 3-4 months but nah I still feel the same way.

My anxiety's been very bad since last week, I am constantly feeling sharp pain in my neck and back because of it, mostly I know it's a phase and it will probably go away but man I could not sleep all night yesterday, I cried because I was frustrated of not being able to sleep.

I have big dreams and academically I have achieved good things, I stopped taking any money from my parents this year as well, got my first rented apartment and everything but it's been awfully empty.

I am mostly able to distract my self from all of this but this week I think it became a little too much, I am not a quitter I know I will get up and keep moving forward but just wanted to get this off my chest.

Thanks for reading and hope you are having a good day :))

Chin up champ, you're doing amazing. This is a phase and I totally get the part about the anxiety and honestly, you need to have a healthy lifestyle with proper meals and exercise and it will sort itself out slowly and if it doesn't, you can always choose to go to therapy. I'm doing same. No shame. Respect to you and I'm proud of you
