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...
well,
i cant remember anything.
Ugh when i read, i feel like i dont understand anything i just read, i feel like i cant comprehend anything when im in school and when im reading i see extra words, and words that arent there, like for example, if the word is look i will see the word book, and its frustrating! i feel like i cant think, and its really really bad, and i feel like all of my memory is stripped from me and i am really really tired of it! I don't understand. Im shaking, and everything. i dont know, im terrified of having a brain tumor! ugh. because i have double vision ( although i am blind in my right eye, which can cause this effect). I don't want to die, im too young to die and im most certainly too young to be having memory loss.
Does this sound like anxiety or something way more serious?

P.s I don't think someone that had a brain tumor could get a 73% on a test that they didn't study for.
Anxiety makes us think there are all kinds of things wrong with us when in reality, there's most likely nothing at all wrong besides chemicals being a little off. When I was younger, I was *convinced* that I had prostate cancer, and I was just so sick over the thought... that is until I found out that girls don't *have* prostates.
But ya know, it's really hard to convince the brain that it's wrong.. for example, I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to have him check a little bump on my back which I'm terrified is cancerous (it's been there for about 15 years!), but everyone is telling me stuff like that is normal. And so it goes...
