Why am i like this all the time?

Question

ok so I'm 22 and whenever I'm alone at my apartment with nothing to do even for just five minutes, i start to get anxiety depression and sometimes i even hyperventilate.. most of the time there is something i go do like clean, go for a walk, cook but that's about it. whenever i cant think of anything to do or talk to or hang out i just start to drive myself crazy.. ill start walking back and forth getting a worried look on my face. ive been having stress with my ex gf, bills, work and a new girl who has a kid and wants to go out with me.. but i don't really think of these things when i get like that. when I'm alone at my place i feel like my head is so full of thoughts and stuff that i cant even focus on anything, it that whats driving me crazy like this? i cant really afford consoling and i have a hard time opening up unless I'm feeling like i had described. any recommendations??? please.

Answer 3

write down on a piece of paper a list of things you can think of which is not related to your stress, then when you freak out and you can't think of anything good thing to think about take your list out and work from there.

It worked great for me, I would write maybe 7 or 8 things on a list and when my mind went where I didn't want it to I already had the list to help.

Thinking is habitual, once you break this habit of freaking out you will be fine
