So, this isn't really a problem that needs attention immediately or anything. I don't really feel like any of my problems are, and most of the time they're just rants.
So, today in health class we had talked about mental disorders. And We went over things about depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety. Anxiety is the one that really caught my eye though. The more we talked about it, the more I thought about things I've been experiencing. My health teacher said constant worry, unable to stay still, feeling of dread sometimes, and not being able to stop thinking about a certain thing. And all of those applied to me.
Last month I had a big problem with this though. It was a couple of weeks before my first day of high school. And I was so nervous and had so much anxiety that I almost threw up a couple of times. I would cry when I thought about it too much since it really stressed me out. I know worry about this is normal, but I don't think it is to that extent. Every time I would try to talk to my mom about it, she would give me the same answer of "You're fine. It'll be alright after a couple days." which made me feel worse. I had the constant thought of 'I'm going to look like an idiot freshman' or 'I'm gonna look like a child. Thats embarrassing.' or 'What if I get lost???'
Anyways, I think I have an anxiety disorder. The only problem is, I don't know who to talk to about it. Whenever I say 'I think something's wrong' to my mom, she brushes it off like no big deal. Like the fact my knee aches constantly every day? No problem. Or that my back has been hurting since September 2013? No big deal. It's whatever. And I'm just worrying about talking to her about it since I know she'll brush it off like it's no big deal. And it'll make me feel like a total idiot.
I'm just really bad at signatures.
Whoops
