Extremely Nervous For Back to School Tomorrow?

Question

School is starting again tomorrow, and i will be a junior in high school. I am feeling extremely nervous this year, more than i ever have before. I mostly fear the people. My school is big, and there are a lot of people there. I get soooo nervous and intimidated when i am around other people. Sometimes i even get this "hazy feeling" in my head, like i feel like im not with it. I'm not sure if this means i have some sort of social phobia or anxiety. I am so self-conscious and don't think i am pretty at all, and i have a hard time talking to people. I only have a few friends and none of them are in my classes (except lunch- i am thankful for that). But it's also hard because i am a recovering anorexic, and i am afraid of people making comments or thinking things about me. To make matters worse, i don't know where any of my classes are, and the school is huge. What can i do to calm down? I'm so nervous i feel like throwing up right now. Please help!

Answer 1

Just breathe!!!

Don't worry about people talking behind your back, if what they have to say is important they'll say it to your face. Anyway you can't stop people thinking anything and as much as any of  us don't want to, we all judge each other - it's just part of life.

So stay strong (and calm!) because im sure you'll do fine. x x x

wow,congrats on junior high! I have anxiety issues so I can relate.I have taken some St.Johns Wart from like GNc and it helps. Don't worry about it so much.These are some of the best years of your life.Stressing out will make you break out anyway ! So don't do that.Take a hot bath and plan your clothes out for the week and chill. People will talk about people forever ,and so what if you are a recovering anorexic and you ar eon a good track now good for you.Stop worrying about what people say all the time.Smile, approach other s adn say Hello. They are probably scraed too you know! I used to be shy until I was 15 and started working after school.Then I had to talk to people. You will be fine .Just relax and get your clothes together and make-up and feel pretty about yourself.There are lots of people who aren't super models and are over weight or underweight and make friends because of their personality. Make your self outgoing this year and do this year differently to better yourself.Good Luck!
