Mine can feel like I'm going to throw up like something is stuck in my throat. It can also feel like my legs are weak or tingly, like pins and needles but not numb.

I also get some chest pain the odd time.

I already deal with depression, anxiety, and insomnia, all while being autistic. The stress from college has caused some unusual and lasting issues with my body, including now living with TMJ and experiencing swelling in my rim for nearly a full week.

Bedrotting at home has undoubtedly fucked up my joints and caused muscle tension, because I sit on my bed and use my laptop all day.

I don't even know if i have a mental illness even though i went to a psych ward and got diagnosed with "psychotic episode".

But while i wait for my ticket to ctb, i've been going nuts, sometimes i hyperventilate and start bawling my eyes out, actin like a tweaker and then punching walls till my knuckles bleed...

I let myself go completely aswell, i barely eat any solid food, mostly consume alcohol.

And i look like a hobo with long hair and beard, why would i care if i'm gonna meet my end soon ?

I feel spikes in my heart sometimes aswell, my legs hurts from bed rotting all day.


My eyes burns like hell aswell.

What a fucking waste...

I have had extreme nausea from anxiety. Used to get up an vomit in the middle of the night. I have also given myself stress hives many times. At first I thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction or had poison ivy or something but once I calmed down, they went away.

Huge weight loss. I'm very gaunt and it's gotten to the point where people ask if I'm sick. But I also have other health issues that contribute. It's frustrating because I do the things people say I should do - go to the gym, stay active! But I struggle to eat the calories to support that. I just become weaker. I eat maybe 1000 calories a day.
