My anxiety is so odd,and I'm starting highschool.....?

Question

Hi,I'm going into high school,and I feel like when i walk in there my anxiety will take over the whole year.I had a fine year last year with about two anxiety attacks.Compared to the year before where I would have one almost everyday.But,now i'm having so many mixed feelings.

My symptoms occur in my bladder but nothing has ever happened but my worst fear is that I'll wet myself and then my whole year will be ruined.And I'm afraid of being laughed at and ridiculed.i can't take medications my mom doesn't want me to.She thinks its over.I hope it is but I don't know.I would love some advice.

Answer 2

To deal with anxiety without meds, you must exercise daily. This dissipates the anxiety/negative thoughts, etc.

Stay away from caffeine.

Learn to meditate.

Learn deep breathing exercises: there are wonderful anxiety workbooks in stores. Do some research and get a good one.

Imagine the worse thing that could happen, develop a plan to deal with it, and then let it go.

Remember, many of us suffer from anxiety-you are not alone.

I would talk with your mom, also. Just let her know what is going on with you.

You can research anxiety on line.

Support group in your area?

If you can, chat w/ someone who also has anxiety.

Above, all, exercise,exercise,exercise!

Good Luck-and remember, you are not alone-especially the first day of High School!

Answer 3

you know how you see the movies like mean girls or any other chick flick you have all the popular girls and guys and theres no way of getting into it or keep away from them. well really its not like that at high school. they like to think that they can take over and be the best in the school but people wont let them. highschool is nothing like the movies. technically i liked it and it gave me freedom from my parents and siblings. dont worry,youll be fine.

Answer 4

im not very familiar with anxiety attacks.

but, if you can feel them coming then heres what you can do:

tell you're teachers. that way, if you feel one coming on then you can just leave the room and they wont ask any questions.

good luck in highschool, and i hope everything goes well!
