Anxiety during/before a concert?

Question

I kind of have anxiety anyway, but I'm going to a Jonas Brothers concert, and I'm freaking out about it.

I think about it all the time, and it's August 29th.

I'm going with a friend, my parents aren't going to be there.

I have 12th row tickets..so Im going to be in a big crowd & this concert is a huge deal.

I've been to the stage that its at, a few years go, but thats when I didn't have anxiety.

I'm really worried about the wait in between the two acts.

I went to a small concert in the fall, and the whole time I was shaking, and it was really scary I felt like I was going to die, and before I went in I was begging my parents not to make me go.

So this is a bigger concert, and I don't know what I'm worried about, but I'm freakin out. I'm 15 years old, so I dont want to make a fool of myself. haha. I know I'm going to get VERY ervous like the day before the concert. I get so nervous that I shake and I can't even talk to anyone.

I know this sounds stupid, but does anyone know what I should do?

I've talked to my parents before, and they really don't understand.

So I can't go to the doctors for anxiety meds or anything.

Please, and advice would help.

Anything I should think to help calm me down?

Thanks again. : ]

Answer 1

that normal

Answer 2

Wanna talk anxiety..I am second row to SLipknot, I might not make it out alive LOL!!!!

Seriously, though is it the concert venue, the artist, or being in such a huge sometime chaotic (not for the Jonas Brothers) environment, or being in a social setting away from your parents?? Any of these things can be troublesome, but you are there to have fun, remember that...people, myself included, go to concerts to escape and have fun, don;t make it a difficult experience....

Believe me.. you may have anxiety now.  But once YOU'RE THERE, you will realize: "Hey, what's the big deal with that anxiety?"  Believe me, that is how Anxiety is like.

But during the last moment you still feel anxious... VERY anxious, then just skip it.  Let it be a sunk-cost.
