Help me, please!

A couple of years ago I had an awakening of sorts, when I realized who I really was, what I believe, what’s most important to me, and where I’m going in life. It opened up my mind and my heart more than I ever imagined possible, and I finally understood that life is short, and it is beautiful. I was ready to take on whatever I came across, the good and the bad; it taught me that the purpose of life is to work through these inevitable challenges that mean you’re alive, and to help and love others as much as possible.

I began to take better care of my health, excel in school, got a great job, and really discovered who I felt were my true family and friends. Most of all, I found a fatih that set me free, along with a peace that I believe could not be touched by anything going on around me. Since then, I have been living wholly and fully to the best of my ability in each moment.

You would think that after this, I would have no problems I could not get through, and this has been true, for the most part. However, lately I have been a strange feeling that I do not like nor understand, and it’s making me feel like I’m going crazy. I have tried explaining it to people who just tell me it’s a phase and if I just stay busy it will pass. But I know it’s not normal, and nobody (including me) can understand what’s happening.

The reason I explained the background is because the usual solutions to issues like this (stay busy, let it go, talk to someone, pray, etc.) will be of no help to me. I have no idea what could have triggered this feeling; could it just be that I feel lonely or something greater? If you have any ideas as to what I should do, please let me know, as this is a last resort to retain my sanity.

it’s hard to say without knowing more about what the feeling is. We’ll need more of a description than “it’s a feeling I don’t like”
Prayer, and trust in God can always help.

I’ve never used this so i’m not sure how replying works. It’s basically a kind of strange feeling similar to anxiety, and it makes me feel exhausted so I’m lacking motivation to really do anything. It wouldn’t be so bad except it’s giving me nightmares I don’t understand, and it’s interfering with my life in the sense that it makes me feel like not doing anything. The reason it’s so hard to resolve is because i’m not exactly sure what’s wrong=(

though I’m no MD it sounds like you’re clinicly depressed. Have you started any new medications, or other chemicals, drugs lately? Some can cause the feelings of depression.
It may be benificial to contact a Doctor.
