Hi Glossie and welcome. I am sorry that you are going through such a rough time at the moment with your relationship and your anxiety. I also think that it sounds as if you are experiencing depression. (losing sleep, weightloss and losing interest in previously enjoyed activities are all signs of depression)

May I ask if you struggled with any of these symptoms before you started having relationship problems? If the answer in no, then I would kindly and gently suggest that you give your situation a good hard look. You deserve to feel well and relationships should bring joy and enhance life, not bring one down!

I would suggest starting with a dr.'s appointment if your symptoms persist. He/she can help get you started with treatment for the anxiety and depression. Your dr. can even refer you to a therapist, which in my opinion is an awesome way to go. So many of us here have been helped by attending therapy.

In the meantime, look into our Anxiety Resource Guide (main page 3rd post) It has links to relaxation/breathing exercises that are great when facing panic attacks and/or lack of sleep. There is also a url/link for free on-line therapy, if you are not able to attend it one-on-one.

I hope that you get the assistance you need soon to feel better. Please seek the help of your parents, or other trusted adult to help you with this ASAP. You are right...you are a fun and outgoing person in there...you just need to find some treatment to help her be well again:)!

Take care and post anytime,
