Ok so I have been paleo for like a month and it feels great. My skin is improving but not where I want it to be. My athletic performance is becoming outstanding. I guess I am happy overall except for the fact I have anxiety. I read that anxiety can be gut related and that's when I changed my diet a year ago. I have been eating extremely healthy for a year and went a step further by following paleo now. I have been doing everything in my power to be as healthy as I can be. I exercise daily, I get more than enough vitamins (according to fitday) and am wondering why I cant shake the anxiety. I am 19, when I was 10 I had a serious panic attack in public and woke up in the hospital with an IV. It disappeared literally until I got acne which was a few years ago. I started over thinking things like that people were staring at my face and thinking things like ew. The point is I am starting to get this anxiety back and I am wondering if it is from acne alone, or am I having this coming back from when I was 10? Do you guys with acne suffer from anxiety? Is that the only reason if so? It is starting to bug me. I went grocery shopping today and felt extremely nervous with everything I did the second I entered the store. The anxiety is not only from acne. When im driving I get nervous like when people all stop at a red light, I feel like everyone looks at me and just thinks negative things. I feel like everybody out there is just mean, looking for violence, and just selfish. I am scared I think? Sorry the thoughts are popping up as I type. I know not everyone is like that (like this website is very supportive) but I just have that mentality. Can anyone else relate in any way?
Acne can cause anxiety I get it sometimes , also depression . U said u had a case of anxiety when u where younger is also possible that ur acne triggered it again. Is there a reason why u had anxiety attacks as a young boy . It's completely normal for acne to trigger anxiety and depression on people . We do get judged on how we look sometimes . And we try to avoid being seen around people from time to time. but I don't find it normal for a young boy to get anxiety . You might want to think back and see what was triggering ur attacks as a young boy .and really see if this time around it's really ur acne or something deeper
I don't know why. I remember one time when my brother was little he almost died of dehydration, he was very little. It scared me and I drank like 4 water bottles in 10-15 minutes and was worried I was going to dehydrate. I was literally peeing every minute. My point is I was freaking out over nothing and clearly I was fine. There are several experiences like that. I find it weird that like 2 months after that panic attack when I was 10 It was gone until I turned like 15-16 when acne struck and isolated myself from the world. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands to think about all this weird stuff?
