You sound exactly like me. my friends say the same thing to me, and my mom gets really mad at me when i try to stay home, she just doesnt understand. i miss school a lot too because of my social anxiety. it really sucks. im on meds but they dont seem to help. you should try getting some medicine. and maybe think about homeschooling
Anxiety about back to school?
i'm the same way. we started back a few weeks ago and the stress of social anxiety amde me get really sick, which is why i'm not at school right now. it kidna sucks, cause i've already missed a couple of days for the same reason. no dout i'm behind now.... anyway, just don't think about it. school's school, there's no getting out of it, it's something u have to do. when i go back, i'm going to talk to the counsulear about virtual school, it's where u take ur classes online and don't have to go to school for them. maybe try to see if ur school has something like that? just stick close to ur friends and don't worry. i used to throw up everyyear before the first day, this year i felt like it but didn't, talking to my gf before i left really helped with that. if you want to, why not go to a therapist or something? i personally despise them, but that's just me. it might help. best of luck.
Who do I go to if I think I have anxiety and I'm a high school student?
Sit in silence for a while and try to make out from where is this anxiety coming. What are the causes. Nobody else in the world knows you better than yourself. So talk to yourself.If your parents are cool enough to understand, talk to them. They are the most selfless people in your life, and they will always try to help you in every possible way.If that doesn't help, you can always get an appointment with a therapist.This might sound unusual, but you can talk to me too. Maybe I can help somehow.And if you don't want to talk about this to anyone, then please try and calm your mind. Every sort of problem comes with a solution. And whatever it is, it is not the end of the world.
Even thinking about school gives me bad anxiety?
I'm a junior in high school and I have always hated school. It makes me feel so worthless and stupid and just thinking about school makes me sick to my stomach. I really don't get stressed out easily but I have missed a lot of school and a lot of work. But it's not even thinking about the workload that gets me feeling like this. It's the thought of going back to a place where I feel as though everyone hates me and a place where I just feel trapped and miserable. My parents know I hate school but they think it's just the average "every teenager hates high school" sort of thing. But it's so much more than that. The feelings have gotten worse since last year when I transferred to my new school. There's a lot more people but I don't even think the problem is there. All I know is that even when I think about going to school it makes me physically ill. I really don't think that's normal. I really need to know if what I'm feeling happens with anyone else and what I should do about it. Is this one of those things that I just suck up? Or is this something that seriously needs to be looked into? Before you ask I am not medicated for anxiety because of personal reasons. I just really need help. Why have I always felt like this? Should I talk to a guidance counselor about this? Or a doctor even? Is there something wrong with me mentally? I just want to know. Thank you.
School gives me anxiety?
Okay so I have diagnosed Social Phobia & Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I dread going to school everyday. I also think I'm emetophobic because I'm scared ill like throw up or something at school. I know it's stupid but I can never get it out of my head. It causes me to miss a lot of school. I've already missed like 10 days. I just hate never having peace of mind & I think I always feel sick because of the thoughts in my head. I'm seeing a therapist & it has helped but I'm still not completely better. Anyone else experienced this? Tips on how to stop the thoughts, etc.? Thanks so much.
How do I get over social anxiety in high school?
I think that shyness, social anxiety and lack of self-confidence often caused by underlying fears.Below is my little essay on overcoming fears. I wish you the best.Back when the human personality was being formed on the African veldt, taking a risk meant risking your life. Go check out what's on the other side of the river, You might be someone else's dinner. Stay out late in the day to try to catch another antelope, it gets dark, you don't make it home.Human beings are hardwired to avoid risk, and the mere thought of risk creates primal fear.These days, we still tend to have the primal fear reaction when presented with risk, even though our lives are not at stake. More often than not, our fears are meaningless and useless.I think by and large most peoples’ lives are dominated by fear, caution, and being comfortable. Unfortunately, the best lives, the most exciting lives, the lives worth living are the ones where a person surmounts their fear, sets aside caution and quits caring about being safe and comfortable.Fear and shyness cannot hurt you by themselves. Fear is a feeling. It is a message from deep in your brain trying to keep you safe. Safe from a saber tooth tiger maybe, or a caveman with a club.Fear is VERY RARELY useful anymore. Unless you are walking on a high cliff or facing a guy with a gun, fear is useless.It is uncomfortable to feel fear. We think it means something. We treat it like it is important. We need to start treating fear and shyness like the obsolete, antiquated feelings that they are.The only way to make the fear messages quiet down is to ignore them. And the only way to ignore them is to set a goal, feel the fear, and complete the goal.COMPLETE THE GOAL. NO MATTER HOW IT FEELS, COMPLETE THE GOAL.I wish I had a pill for this, but the only solution is TO COMPLETE THE GOAL.
I'm scared to go back to school. I think my anxiety is going to be worse. What can I do?
I get extremely nervous around people especially school. Outside of school I can leave/end the situation if I feel anxious but in school I can't. There are so many times of the day inwhich I feel so much pressure. During Breakfast and Lunch. I have nowhere to sit and we are only aloud to go outside or the cafeteria. I try to find a place to hid where a dean/vice principle won't find me so I can be alone. When I'm alone I feel less anxious but still anxious because I'm afraid someone might find me all alone. During class. During the first few days at my school we never do actual work so people just talk and I really don't have anyone to talk to and it makes me feel like a complete loser and when someone tries to talk to me I get all nervous. I love the summer because I don't feel as anxious as I do when I'm at school and I don't feel ready to go back. I feel butterflies in my stomach just thinking about this.
What causes me to have anxiety when going to school?
Schools are a scary place. You're among a group of teenagers who are judgemental, exploring social roles that frequently devolve into cliques and packs that any self respecting wolf would reject and are all adjusting to hormonal changes that would rattle a saint.You also have performance anxiety. School is a place where you are constantly being tested and the outcome of your tests will affect which colleges you can enter. Your college will help decide which companies will even look at your resume. (Actually, the world is not that deterministic; but it doesn't feel that way when you're writing a 5,000 word essay about Herman Melville and the loss of the whaling ship Essex.)It's perfectly natural to feel anxiety about school. The trick is to learn anyway.Jeff
