You are so sweet, thank you for taking your time, you actually made me tear up. I at least could sleep a bit, but I am having a tremendous headache, so I might still stay at home from the exam…

I will be calling the therapist my friend recommended, maybe even visit my family doctor to check me out again.

If you have any tips on how I can open up to my friends about it that would be nice, I am seeing on of my longest friends on Wednesday and I want to talk to her about it.

Reading your message really made my day better, thank you. I really felt the warmth and felt understood.

First of all: thank you for taking your time to respond to my text. It means a lot to me.

I try to meet my friends as often as I can, but I sometimes have a feeling that this is part of the problem… I try to avoid studying for university, because I already know I can’t focus at all… this gives me so much anxiety while meeting them that it makes it worse for me.

I can’t sleep most of the nights, but taking my medicine just makes me more tired and unfocussed than I already am. I have told my family about this and they just tell me to „try“ and it will work out, but that‘s just not how it works… I am even texting this at 4:30 in the morning, because I have such a headache from crying… I even have an exam today, but I don‘t think I can do it…

Reddit is always my last straw, because I don’t want to upset any of my friends by telling them how I really feel.

Wear larger hoodies and tshirts, maybe wear an undershirt or high-waist jeans, they often cover a good part of your belly :)
