I totally get how exhausting it can be to feel anxious inside your own home. Sometimes, just opening the windows to let natural sunlight in and organizing your room can bring a lot of mental clarity. Take it one small step at a time, you are doing fine.
I constantly overanalyze my mood swings at home, worrying if my isolation is getting worse. I have started sitting with my family during evening tea instead of staying alone in my room. It might help you too, just don't isolate yourself for too long.
When my thyroid levels fluctuated, my anxiety at home went through the roof. I realized that keeping physical health checked with regular blood tests is crucial for mental peace. Make sure you get your vitamins and hormones checked, and keep your doctor in the loop.

My high blood pressure was heavily linked to my stress levels at home. I started doing basic breathing exercises for 15 minutes daily and tracking my BP at home. If you feel constantly tense, please monitor your vital stats and consult your doctor.
Honestly, staying cooped up in my room all day doing assignments makes me feel so down. I started keeping a plant on my desk and listening to some lo-fi music while studying. Just small changes in your space can make a big difference in how you feel.
