Extreme anxiety ( I guess)
Years of suppression of emotions and telling myself I can do this until my recent failure in employment exams. Family sickness and seperation from a long term partner has led to:
•Cannot walk or lie down for more than 5 minutes. Racing heartbeat, sweating, shaking and shivering
•Complete loss of appetite where I used to eat the most amongst friends and family
•Walking constantly has helped calming me down by some amount but it led to severe leg and back pain
•Feeling cold most of the time but sweating profusely during anxious moments
• Can no longer concentrate on reading/studying
• Cannot sleep really, if I fall asleep due to tiredness I rush up with panic attacks in 15 minutes.
• 1-2 times puking a day
• Some breathing problems even though I am not diagnosed with any lung problems
• I have some traits of neurodivergence (Asperger's syndrome)
• Familiar recreational activities didn't seem to help

Hello,
What you are describing appears to be a severe anxiety and stress reaction following multiple major life events- exam failure, family illness, and a breakup. When intense stress builds for years without healthy emotional outlets, the body can “crash,” resulting in both psychological and physical symptoms.
The symptoms you list- racing heartbeat, sweating, shaking, inability to sit still or rest, complete loss of appetite, frequent panic attacks on falling asleep, vomiting, breathing difficulty without lung disease, and inability to concentrate- strongly suggest that your mind and body are in a prolonged state of hyperarousal.
These symptoms are real, treatable, and not a sign of weakness. They also often worsen without support, so seeking help early is very important.

Health Tips
- You are not “broken”- your nervous system is overwhelmed, not failing.
- Suppression of emotions for years can create exactly this kind of physical shutdown; treatment helps significantly.
- Avoid self-diagnosing with “neuro divergence” right now- many anxiety symptoms can mimic autistic traits during crisis. Proper evaluation should happen only once you’re stable.
- Try not to push yourself into studying or performance tasks right now; your body first needs regulation and rest.
