Anxiety related queries. Has anyone got advice?

Need Support

Hi, i am F(19) and i am currently studying, i work and i have an overall good life right now. I have diagnosed ADHD and i currently take medication to help with concentration and emotions, although i do not require to take this every day.

To give a bit of a backstory, i have suffered with anxiety on and off more recently in the past two years. It started off with avoidance where i felt i couldn't do certain situations and would feel out of place doing so. I avoided having to leave the house often and had little to no motivation in committing to anything towards my future. However, i ended up pushing myself in 2025, and committed towards studying something that i enjoy and feel passionate in to better my future. It is mental health based in some way, which gives you a clue what i want to do long term. Studying has helped me understand my own health but also figure out how to understand others too.

In the past few months however, i am in confusion as to what i am currently experiencing. I am not looking for any diagnosis as i am looking into going towards professional advice. Although i would love to hear other peoples thoughts and opinions and if anyone has experienced the same thing. I have been feeling physically wrong and i mean my body shakes hands shake and eyes also feel as if they are shaking. My eyes can sometimes go blurry and things seem more colourful. There is no factor of any triggers and genuinely i feel stressed knowing there is no "trigger" or immediate explanation. My heart rate rises and my heart feels more noticeable. I end up not being able to speak or talk to anyone as my mind is just screaming random out of place thoughts. Thoughts such as "Why am i moving." "What are my hands doing and just focus." For example, i want to say "i am going to the toilet." but my body won't let me and my mind just does not know how to ask anymore. It is almost as if i lose any capability of myself. I experience thinking to myself "i am comfortable here and i know everybody why can't i move right or speak". I also experience if i do move or get up if i am sat initially, i move awkward and don't feel like i am actually moving like a human.

This is not an every day experience but it is a new one and i really want to know if someone else has felt like i have before. i am going to see a medical professional as i am just terrified this could get worse before it gets better. If anyone has any recommendations or advice i would really appreciate it. Thank you for reading :).
