Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Ugh.... I have been dealing with so much the last few weeks. And I have sort of given up on what to do by this point. My anxiety gets in the way of practically everything in my life. Because of it I think I pushed away my best and only friend. She won't even talk to me. All because I wouldn't sit outside with her yesterday after school. But I have been feeling really down and depressed the last few days. My anxiety seems to be consuming my whole life. Tuesday was National Teacher Appreciation Day. I gave my favorite teachert, my math teacher a letter thanking him for everything he has done for me all year. I don't really have a father right now, my parents are divorced and I never talk to my dad, and I think I have been looking up to him as a father figure. Telling him what I did in the letter, he was pretty much the first person I had opened up to about that more openly in a long time. It felt weird to have him read it because it was the first time I let my guard down for somebody. And I am glad I did it, but I ran away as soon as he started to read it and now I feel really embarrassed about it and avoid him some. But I just need some advice because I hate the way my anxiety and the way my brain is working is messing with my life. Ruining my friendships and killing my inner self-esteem because I let my guard down once, but nothing bad happened when I did.

Hope the dog days of summer aren't getting you down!
teens. Look in the public library.
In making this post, you just used my most effective tool for managing my anxiety far enough that it doesn't run my life. Anxiety still sucks and gets in the way of more things than I wish for, but at least I can keep plugging, in spite of it when I ply therapy tools instead of rolling over and playing dead. When I share my anxieties within my therapy support network, it saves allot of strain on my social network and nets me more effective suggestions, to boot.
I’m very sorry you feel this way. I hope you can check with your doctor and get the help you need to get better. A therapist can be a big help in coping with your anxiety.
Please stay strong and I hope this forum will be a blessing to you. Keep us posted. I pray for God’s comfort and healing be upon you. Take care.
Honestly, that was a very sweet thing you did by writing your teacher a letter. If I was that teacher I would feel touch that I made such a difference in my students life. Most teachers go into teaching b/c they care about people and want to see kids grow and achieve.
I would be beaming with pride to get a letter like that...affirming to me as a teacher, I am making a difference!
I had one of those teachers, my Art teacher, that did so much more for me that my Non-present Mom did. Unfortunately I didn't write the letter in her time but as a memorial to her. Her son wrote a very touching letter back to me about how she lived to make such differences.
Give your friend some time and let her know your mind was elsewhere and you didn't want to bring her down. These things pass.
Support as you define what you want to be even though in the years that may be re-assessed as you move through time
