i feel like crying for i dont know what reason. but no tears. I am just tearing up for abit, i feel like my heart is beating quite fast also, but i dont know why
Can i feel nervous¿ anxious¿ for no reason? like all of a sudden. i can be walking on the streets, watching drama, on my way to school (while on public transport) or maybe after cleaning my room, all of a sudden i would feel like my heart is beating relatively fast but when i measured it on my watch it is only at 96/7 bpm and feel like i am shaking but when i hold my hands out, i cant see it shaking at all. they are just something i am hallucinating¿ that my heart is beating very fast and i am shaking¿ as they all feel so real and i dont know what to do about it.
Hi @user1638,
I can hear how overwhelming all of this must feel for you right now. Feeling like crying without knowing why or noticing your heart racing when everything seems fine on the outside can be so confusing. First, I just want to say that what you’re describing is something a lot of people go through, especially during times of stress or when our emotions feel out of balance. It doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you—it’s just your body and mind processing things in their own way.
It sounds like your heart is beating faster and the sensation of shaking is really worrying you. These can happen even when we’re not in immediate danger—sometimes it’s just our body’s way of responding to stress or emotions we might not even be fully aware of. It doesn’t mean you’re hallucinating; it’s just that your mind and body are trying to tell you something, even if it feels unclear right now.
When these feelings come up, it might help to try grounding yourself in the moment. For example, you could take a few deep breaths—inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. Or you could try focusing on your surroundings—like naming 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, and so on. These little techniques can help ease the intensity of the feelings and bring you back to the present.
You’re also doing a great job by reaching out and trying to understand what’s happening. If you feel like it, you could try jotting down when these moments happen. For example, what you were doing, where you were, and what you were feeling right before it started. Sometimes writing things out helps us notice patterns, and it can make these feelings feel a little less random.
Most importantly, be gentle with yourself. It’s okay to not have all the answers right away. You’re already taking a brave step by sharing this and wanting to figure it out. If this continues or gets harder to manage, it might help to talk to someone you trust or even a counsellor—they can help you unpack what’s going on and give you more tools to feel more in control.
You’re not alone in this, and it’s acceptable to proceed cautiously. We are here for you!
