i have two anxiety disorders. one of them im learning how to deal with n im gettin help for. as for the other im just lookin for any kind of suggestions or ideas on how i can cope with it.
ok what it is is that i start laughing for no reason at the most random times. when i first got it i assumed i was just havin one of those days where u just laugh at everything. but it never went away so since i go to counseling anyways i asked n they said it was indeed a form of anxiety.
its really interfering with my life n is getting to be a problem. people dont understand its a disorder n think its real funny when it happens at school. i start laughing n class n although i try to be quiet its still distracting n i get thrown out of class. everyone thinks its funny but its really embarrassing. they say im stupid, immatture, and not normal. they dont respect me.
sometimes if someone is talking to me in a conversation i begin to laugh. i try to clear my throat or cough so they think thats what i was doing but the more i try to hold it the harder it gets n eventually i have to give in to it. i try to explain to people i cant help it n that its anxiety but its still mortifying when i do it. people think im some kind of a freak or something

One of the hardest things to do is explain my anxiety disorder to other people. I always worry that they'll think I'm a freak or just can't handle the pressure or something. I think it is important to remember that THIS IS A LEGITMATE DISORDER. It didn't come from anything you did. Like any other handicap, people should respect your problem, and I think that you will find that a lot of people will surprise you by being considerate and understanding. If you are hanging out with people who don't respect what you're going through, it's not your problem, it's theirs.
