What's going on with me?

Question

in the summer it's still kind of sad because my mom didn't let me see any of my friends. But i'm still a little happier when i'm home and have my thoughts to myself. Last year, it hurt to be around anyone happy. i would literally feel dicomfort to the point of serious emotional pain some days. Just being at school gave me stress and most of it was because i was around other people. Sometimes i act awkward around other people because i have no real experience being around other people. They seem to make me nervous and depressed because its so easy for them to communicate w/ one another, but i have a very hard time even having eye contact. Then some days ill jus wake up and feel depressed and it willl ruin the whole day no matter what. i was always worried about losing my friends last year because i barely talked sometimes, especially around other people. i dont want to do that this year so id like to know how i can stop this. please?im about to start high school.

Answer 1

Sounds like you may have social anxiety and depression. There is medications for this but you need to talk to a doctor. The medication can take up to six weeks to begin working so you have to have patience with it. You may also benfit from some counseling to help you cope with you problems with social anxiety.  

Answer 2

You need to see the school councellor. Show them your question that you posted on here and they will take it from there with you. If there is no councellor at school then you need to speak to a teacher or your mum. Another thing you can do is make an appointment to speak to your doctor.

Your symptoms sound like they are treatable and it would be great if you could get them sorted before high school wouldnt it?

So make a plan today. Print off your question you put on here stick it in your pocket and make an appointment to see the school councellor and show it to them.

Its ok to be you and you sound like you need some more confidence. Ways of getting that confidence could be getting involved in a club/group/sport. How about a theatre group - you will learn how to communicate and make friends and do shows and things together and have heaps to talk about. Or dancing classses? If you had something to go to after school you perhaps wouldnt feel so isolated and your mum will be happy for you to attend a class a set time a week wouldnt she - even if she is not keen on you just hanging out after school and in the summer. The way around it might be joining a club.

So get to that councellor today and ask for some help. You dont need to be this lonely and sad especially being so young.
