It made me feel so bad. I just deal with it alone now.
I really don't sleep at all.
I think we all deal with it in different ways.
My friend just told me to do things that you enjoy & that make you happy.

...even if your anxieties were in any way hormone related, Tarryn..it's still not something that you just have to 'put up with'..it's just finding the best for you to help you cope with your anxieties and it's not one of those 'one size fits all' type things because the causes and triggers for our anxieties are so personal to each individual...I think probably your not sleeping is exaggerating your anxieties as well because you must be becoming physically exhausted, which will have nothing but negative effects on your thoughts..so maybe looking into some relaxation techniques, to help for more rest and sleep could be something to focus on atm as well..?...just taking one step at a time../type thing and trying to do something about some of those 'accelerators'...aim for your sleep to be more restful and that may help to relieve your anxieties and help you break them down...
