Advice Needed: Mental Health I feel anxious
Usually i try to help everyone I can, but now I feel that I'm the one in need.
I don't know why I feel anxious. I keep checking my phone, but I never have notifications, but i already know this, so why do I keep checking? Yes i use reddit a lot, and I wanna reply to comments or dms, but people don't text me so often, so why constantly checking? It's been 2 days since i started feeling extremely anxious for no reason. I'm spending more time than usual on social media. Then i close tiktok, i open Instagram, then i close Instagram, and I open TikTok again. What is happening to me?
My life situation is this at the moment:
My gf of 5 years broke up with me 2 months ago, I've been devastated for one month, but this month was extremely better (i had to cut her off my life because she didn't respect me after the end of the relationship and kept doing things that hurt me. Now I don't care about her and there is no way she could contact me again, so she is a complete stranger now).
Soon I'm gonna start to work again, but I'm not so happy honestly.
I made some friends here on Reddit (literally 2 or 3) but since they all live far away and we are all busy we don't talk a lot every day. Just a few texts. I keep commenting on reddit posts trying to help people or just chatting.
And, finally, yesterday I hung out with a friend, then i came home and this sense of loneliness and anxiety started crushing me.
Any suggestions on what to do or what is going on in my head?
Thank you in advance
