For the past month. I haven't been feeling like myself & this is persistent. I have been feeling depressed as of late, I recognize this because I've lost interest in thin8gs I would normally be excited for & it also hasn't crossed my mind as of late. I've had issues remembering things, when I usually have a sharp memory & it never tends to fail me. Constipation has been one of my most severe symptoms & it has resorted to me googling my symptoms more than once. I've been noticeably irritable as well, for the past couple of days. My legs have been prone to sensations such as throbbing, twitching & a sense of heaviness as well. Persistent. I've also been shortlisted for cognitive behavioural therapy in three months, as I have been told I may be suffering from health anxiety, but my other issues are as follows. Sleeping issues. Waking up too early & struggling to sleep at first. Lack of appetite most days, lack of urge to drink water as well. Feeling of weight gain. I believe it could be either generalized anxiety disorder, or maybe even a b12 deficiency or hypothyroidism. But I am yet to be diagnosed. So it is only thoughts. If I can please have answers regarding a likely diagnosis, or something like that. I've also had trembling in my legs as well & depersonalization as well. As well as about 6 suicidal thoughts as well.

I can relate to this, I've had the same symptoms for a while now, and for me it's just anxiety, the minute I sit back and force myself to do something I've lost interest in (like reading) and I tend to feel a bit better.
Staying positive also works!! Just smile, laugh, 'think happy thoughts' and spend more time with family and friends
You might also want to inform a parent... this is still something I am yet to do, but it is important nonetheless
Stretch those muscles as well, do more exercise, eat healthier
I hope I have somewhat helped.
I'm sorry you're going through this. Unfortunately we all experience some forms of anxiety because we live in what the Bible calls "critical times hard to deal with." (2 Timothy 3:1-5) However there are things we can do to help alleviate some of the anxiety, even if we have to seek medical help. The website below has numerous articles on anxiety and offers practical counsel on dealing with it.
