Major Anxiety, In All Aspects of My Life Posted: 03-01-07 03:01am
Hi everyone,
I was hoping that someone could give me
some advice... I'm having an extremely
hard time right now with my anxiety, and
it's taking over my life. In school it's
hard for me to sit in class with my
classmates, because thoughts are racing
through my head telling me that I'm too
disgusting, fat, and a bad person (this
also comes from the distortions of my
eating disorder)... I also become
extremely anxious when a teacher calls on
me, class presentations, and when I have
to talk to someone that I don't know well.
My anxiety is so intense that it's hard
for me to remember even the simplest
things. And the school cafeteria... Well,
let's not even go there. I've had panic
attacks in school before, and it's
destroyed my self-esteem. Not many high
scholars understand anxiety, so a lot of
people just assume that I'm weird, or out
of control, or whatever. I can't stop
blaming myself for my anxiety, and I can't
help being afraid that I'll be impaired
for the rest of my life because of it. I'm
a high-achiever in school, I have a lot of
goals in life, and I'm also a big
people-person when I want to be... But
what if my anxiety ruins any chances of
success? As you can see, I'm kind of in a
rough spot right now.

I know how you feel I was
a flat chested my whole 12yrs of school
that I dropped out in 12th grade and got
my GED...I always got picked on so I felt
that no one would ever like me so I
dressed like a tomboy...Counseling from my
mom helped a lil but I was still too
depressed. It makes me cry hearing you
say this because I don't know really what
to say. ITS SO HARD Because Im married
and I still suffer from feeling insecure
and not good enough no matter how my
husband tells me Im beautiful...Its a
battlefield of the mind...There's a Book
by Joyce Meyers Called Battlefield of the
mind that helps alot..or GET THE JUNK OUT
OF YOUR TRUNK by DUANE VANDER KLOK that
2nd one is about letting go of the past to
live your best life...And if you need a
buddy to talk to everyday PM me a message
and I'll give you my email address and we
can chat everyday to help you cope..I know
how u feel...layta
