I'm terrified of going to school? ?

Question

I'm in grade 7. Recently I have been finding homework and my friends a struggle, and have been experiencing some severe issues because of them (depression, etc). However, my parents know and most of it is now sorted out.

But for some reason, I am absolutely terrified to go to school. On Sunday nights, or mornings when I'm getting ready, I feel this anxiety and sickness. I feel very safe at home, because it's like this protective, sheltered place. But school is so open and raw, and I feel so exposed and vulnerable, like I'm open to anything that can and always does hurt me.

I have suffocating thoughts about my academic future, and am always scared I will stuff up and not do well as an adult. I feel like school won't let me be me, let me breathe, or let me live, even though I'm not being bullied or neglected.

I'm tired of this feeling. Can you help me?

Answer 1

My advise to you is to talk with your parents and see a therapist or a social worker. It sounds like there might be something more to what you are aware of as to why you are terrified of going to school. Do you have a learning disability, ADD/ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed)? It sounds like you are having Panic attacks and there are medications that can help along with talking with a therapist or a social worker. You are dealing with a very difficult time in your life, i.e., adolescence. Perhaps, looking at another school that is smaller in classes might also help. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please feel free to e-mail me and let me know what's happening. Good luck. :)

Add more pazzzaz to life break routine a little find other things at school that catch interest like clubs and stuff just branch out.

Answer 3

Sounds like because of what you have been through the thought of "school" makes you feel overwhelming thoughts of anxiety and sickness. I believe it may be a bit of a phobia you might have occured - don't panic not definite but it sounds like it and if it is, there is help out there. If you feel you can speak to your parents I'd suggest telling them how you feel and maybe they can help direct you to some professional help. When professional help is needed don't immediately assume your in "doom" or "crazy" as it happens to everyone in all sorts of different situations - good on you for recognising what's happening and asking for help.

Answer 4

Sure.

Why not?

Look in the real world.

Observe the little ones day in and day out going to and from school.

How little children of tribe of a Rudeness Tribe.too.

Were living in misery.

With oppression and slavery in idol worshiping the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past from the graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom with self lack of knowledge without being aware of it.

How day in and day out, year in and year out.

They were puffing, huffing. sweating  in lugging and  dragging coffin filled with empty skeleton of skull and bones with two empty eye sockets from  someone else graveyards.

Eerily wailing too in ghostly kitchen's dialect with ghost and deadly worlds from someone else graveyards too.

In hitting them on the head with the Book of the Dead from someone else graveyards.

As cheap-skate glory and success of National Identity.

With self prides on glory and success in idol worshiping the dead Mummy as glory and success of past glorious civilisation.

Matt 21.13

With self lack of knowledge without being aware of it being expose in time by little horror chucky.

Who grew up to be the "Beauty and the beast"

In time turn out to be the were-wolves in town.

Being mass produce and roll off from faulty production lines without being aware of it with self lack of knowledge being expose in time.

With their web-size that keep on growing by the day in own backyards.

Who could not even survive in the real world in time.

Luke 8.5-8,10-17

Getting them all kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy in kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God created in own backyards with self lack of knowledge without being aware of it being expose in time.

What do you think?

Answer 5

A lot of people feel this way (even adults feel it on Sunday nights when they think about going to work on Monday).  I'm not telling you this to scare you or make things worse - but you need to know that this isn't just something "in your head" that makes you "defective" in some way - because you're normal.

So OK, you're "normal" - and if you can't make the anxiety go away, then is there a way that you can make it more manageable?  If homework is a big part of the problem/frustration - can you work to get it all done by Saturday night so on Sunday you don't have to think/worry about it?  Maybe you could pick out your outfits for the week on Saturday AM and have them ironed/layed out so you don't have to do any last minute thinking about what to wear that week?

Those are only 2 things that I can think of - since you're closer to the situation, you probably have a better idea of some things that will work for you.  One thing I always did when I was your age was to do my nails and give my hair a deep conditioning treatment on Sundays so I could feel more "put together" for the upcoming week.

Good Luck to you - sometimes it's hard to find ways to take care of yourself so you can overcome issues like these - so keep trying.  When something (during the week) comes up that really upsets you - make a note of it and try to come up with a way to make it a bit better (but don't bite off more than you can chew - if you try to "fix" too many things at once - the anxiety from "fixing the problems" will only make you more tense!)

Answer 6

Well, you just need to practice doing the following and you'll be just fine:

Don't think little of yourself.  Always picture yourself in control and have confidence cause nobody is better than the other except by knowledge and good manners.  Therefore, go to school to learn as much as you can and always keep your good manners that's what really makes you good friends.

Have friends whenever you can, good friends are a great support whenever you need them.

Know that everyone of us has got talents somewhere, try to find out yours and grow them.

Talk to your teacher about your fears, I am sure she'll understand and help out.

Don't give in to your fears, try to fight them out and be strong.

There's nothing to be afraid of other than doing wrong and since you're ot doing wrong there's nothing to worry about.

Get busy at school reading, studying and socializing.  Just don't those horrible ideas get to you.  Soak yourself up in work and be interactive in class; the more you're busy the less worried you'll be.

Cheer up life is good if you see it so.

Best wishes,

i felt the exact same way and because of it i started skipping lessons, then days, then weeks, then terms and then my mocks and finally my exams. the best you could do is grin and bare it I'm afraid, It will get better, i only relised this in college

Answer 8

I am guessing you are feeling kinda shy and exposed. That's how I feel when I am punished for talking in class but all you have to do is move on with your lifeand have some fun with your friends. It will help you forget all that you have been going through and people will forget all that happened in the past
