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.

School is ending and I'm anxious

Okay so I know a lot of people are usually excited for summer, but I am not. I was diagnosed with social anxiety this year, my freshmen year of high school. I have 2 teachers that really helped me out along the way, and I don't want to leave them for the summer. I know I'll get to go back, but the thought of leaving them and not having their support makes me really anxious, and I'm going to miss them a lot. I cried 3 times yesterday. Am I worrying too much? I'm also afraid something will happen to them and I will never get to talk to them again. Today is my last day of freshmen year. Are these feeling of being anxious about something happening to my teachers normal? I'm also anxious because I can't talk to them over the summer.

This is common at the end of school, just say goodbye and let it go. You are your best support. They will be there next year. Take a moment to look at things you can do over the summer to help yourself build more strength for you.

Best wishes.

I hate the summer, too. I feel fine at uni and when it's over I lose balance. See if you can keep yourself busy and find some activities you enjoy. I'm here if you feel like talking about it.

Yes you are worrying to much. You can not live your life in fear, because that opens the door for the things you fear to happen to you. It is good that you could connect to those teachers and that they supported you during the school year. You may have been diagnosed with social anxiety because you were going to a new school, etc. So while on summer break do things that will build your confidence in yourself or your self-esteem. Make a list of the things you like about yourself and begin to accept yourself. Do you have any friends you are close to that you can hang out with until school starts again? If you return to the same school, you may have time to visit those teachers, but keep in mind you will have new teachers, classmates, and situations that you will have to overcome. Try to enjoy your summer, do some things that you have thought about but may have been scared to try.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
