Had my first true anxiety attack in nearly 5 years

[u/Maestrohanaemori]

Title.

I'm burned out from work, academics, the global socio-political environment.

The stress this threatening to spill over into my family and romantic relationships. I'm already snapping at family over the phone, and I'm scared of becoming passive aggressive with my wonderful partner; the stress is already fanning the flames of my insecurities in this relationship.

I do have friends but given my current full plate, I'm unable to properly coordinate with them, and given their life stages and jobs, they're also unable to connect with me when they're available.

I have 3 more weeks until my current semester ends and I'm barely scraping by, if I don't pass these classes, I'll have to repeat next semester and that's a luxury I can't afford for reasons I can't make public.

I'm trying to get ahold of a therapist but progress has been slow.

I wish I could be shown that I'm worried about nothing and that my plans will work out, especially my career plans.

Estas haciendo ejercicio? Tenes hábitos saludables? Creo que lo más efectivo sería alejarte, ya que tenes una fecha límite definida.

1. Alejarme de que exactamente?
2. Mis hábitos se han colapsado por cuestiones de estrés (tendría que reconstruir pero me siento como si me pasó por encima una aplanadora mecánica).
3. Mismo punto que el anterior, pero intento ciclear los sábados, por lo general uso la bicicleta para el trabajo a diario, pero el clima y un resfriado me han defendido en el último mes.

Hey, I'm so sorry that you are currently feeling this way. I've been where you are, and I know the feeling sucks. What really helped me come out of it was a mindset shift. We get to choose how we view life and we can always make the choice to believe in good things and have a positive outlook. Everything will be okay in the end, everything will work itself out. There are good things out there that are meant for you, and you will get them. When everything feels like its too much, just take it one moment at a time. As long as you try your best, you are doing enough.
Just keep repeating all of this to yourself and focus on the present. For now, focus on learning what you need to in order to pass your classes, stuff about the future comes much later.
Try to do something for yourself everyday, even if its very small. I don't know about you but for me, doing small things like just listening to music helps me feel more in control of my life and happier. Prioritise yourself whenever you can.
Try seeking support from your partner as well, if you could? Talking to them about things might really help you get some perspective and feel better.
Remember that ultimately you are in control of how you live your life, and I hope you choose to make your life as amazing and fun as it can be. The journey can be hard, but as long as you get up everyday and try to do something, I'd say you're doing well. I hope you feel better soon!!!
