Hello,
I am seventeen years old, and both of my parents have anxiety. Its been mentioned that I might have it and I'm starting to think I really do. I am constantly worried about the future, and while I try not to worry about it I just get all these horrible thoughts that won't stop. Every now and then I have what I think are anxiety attacks, where my heart starts beating really fast and i start to panic like I'm getting ready to die... its terrible. I also have this problem where I can't really sleep at night, the most I can usually get is about an hour. Sometimes I'll go to bed sleepy but then either my heart starts beating really fast and wakes me or I just have terrible thoughts and can't go to sleep.
I've noticed this is usually at its worst around the time of my period, so I'm going to the gynecologist in a month to treat dysphoric disorder ( thats what my doctor told me I had). But I know that the anxiety isn't completely related to my period, so I'm wondering if I should do something about it now.
What is your opinion? If you have anxiety, does this sound like anxiety?
