I don't get it

[Sophie]

you know, lately I've just been feeling off emotionally. I originally thought this was just because I was on my period, but my period is about 3-4 days past and I still feel just so anxious and irritable. I'm also finding myself extremely hard on myself about binge eating which I have been working on. I criticize myself about my weight even though I'm the thinnest of all my friends. I am so scared and on edge for no reason. For example, my dad started talking about how our house is looking terrible since he's been out of the house (divorced parents) and then he went back to acting normal, but that little comment took my mood all the way to the ground because now I feel guilty I never take my dogs for a walk and that I'm just lazy. Someone please help.

Uh I’m so sorry that you feel like that.
Anxiety is an itch really, I suppose it comes in waves.
It might also have to do with the divorce of your parents? Sometimes we only feel the symptoms of an emotional situation rather then the emotions themselves, if that makes sense?
I mean that you feel the anxiety because you might feel emotional distress because of the divorce of your parents, but your mind those not let you identify it.
Anyway anxiety can come and go. I think as long as you are aware of it and your behaviour, that’s when you can start taking control back over it.

Thank you so much... I'm still working on the whole control thing
