Feeling Constant Anxiety and Fear – Looking for Advice

Hi everyone,

For the past three months, I’ve been struggling with constant anxiety, fear, and emotional pain. It all started suddenly with a small trigger, but instead of addressing it, I ignored it—and that only made things worse.

Since then, I’ve noticed that a lot of spiritual content has been appearing on my social media feeds, and for the past few months, I’ve been consuming, learning from, and trying to heal through it. I’ve been letting myself feel my emotions, trying to find their root cause, and working to heal, but it’s been a really difficult journey.

The biggest challenge for me is this deep fear I have about relationships. It feels like everyone will eventually hurt me or leave me. I know on some level that something bigger is happening behind the scenes, and that I’m meant to experience these emotions to let go of something holding me back. But despite being aware of this, I feel stuck. It’s like my brain has rewired itself to expect only negativity and negative outcomes.

I also feel constant regret over my past mistakes. No matter how much I try to forgive myself or how much others reassure me, my heart feels torn over the possibility that I’ve hurt my loved ones. I can’t seem to let go of that guilt.

I’ve never experienced emotions this intense before, and I don’t know why they’re happening or why they’re lasting so long. If anyone has been through something similar or has advice, I would really appreciate your thoughts. I feel so lost right now.
