I have so much anxiety to cope with. School is such a struggle and I find it so hard to even be motivated to go to school because I know once I get there, it's a full day of torture. I know that basically every teenager despises school but I get to the point where my anxiousness is getting in the way of my education. I can't let it ruin my grades but then again I can not let my mental health go down hill either. I am constantly worrying about being chosen to answer a question in class because I know I will be asked to repeat me answer about 10 times as I am so quiet when I speak in public. When I am asked to answer a question, I will instantly start shaking, breathing heavily and going bright red in the face. I was made to walk to the front of assembly and collect a certificate, you can imagine how that went down. I had the same things happen to me, however, this time the head teacher picked up on it and questioned me about why I was shaking as he went to shake my hand. I had to quickly walk back to my seat before I needed to walk out of the room completely. I know that if I were confident, I would maybe have a lot more people like me and be able to participate A LOT more in school, but I'm no where near confident. The only way I will speak in front of people and completely be myself id when I'm with my friends. If anyone has any ways that I could become more confident and less anxious please tell me because this anxiety is ruining my life!
