How can I cope with this intense anxiety?
Hello, I am in really bad need of advice to help me get over my anxiety. I have been to so many doctors and theropists and nother has worked for me. I am going to be 17 and before my 15th birthday I watched my sisters husband passaway in my living room from cancer. Since then I have been having really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I have been in and out of school for the past 2 years, I just moved to this new town and I found my anxiety increased. I moved away from all my family and friends, living in this new house has caused my mom to loose her job and my dad to work extra, which means hes never home during the week, he comes home 1 day out of tthe whole week. I lock my self in my house all day and sit in my room. Im scared to leave my house. Most people say take medication, but I cant, last year I tried it for my anxiety and I started to cut my self, and I have never EVER thought about doing that EVER in my whole entire life. I had to get taken off of them. I miss my old life, I miss going to the mall, I miss hanging out with my friends. It seems I cant do that stuff with out having anxiety. Can someone maybe give me advice on how to cope with this? its been 2 years almost, and im not better yet.
Anxiety, usually normal after what you experienced, but in my opinion is getting worse because you continue to be stressed. Think about it this way, locking yourself up and being depressed is not going to change anything but make matters worse. You need to stop this. Yes you are going through a economical rough time, but so am i. And all i can do is just try and do better. I just turned 20 so I know what is like to be your age. I dunno if your parents are pushing you to get a job to help out, if they are not, you should have in mind that they don’t need you to, that they have everything under control. I’m sure they want you to get better and make friends and probably smile again. So if they don’t complain to you about it and they don’t ask you for it, you worry about getting better and leave everything else to them. They know what they are doing. You don’t need medication, you just need to see that what you are going through is just a part of life. And that everything is definitely bound to get better. Go to school, study your butt off, make friends, enjoy your teenage year that it goes by too soon, go to college and study something you like and makes good money. Get good grades and you or your parents won’t have to worry about paying for college, colleges will call you. =D Look up scholarships and get yourself involved. Make a big change and TRUST ME!! it will be worthe it and definitely help!!! any other questions.. feel free to ask
Thank you for responding, that really helped me :) My parents do pressure me into getting a job. I mean i have 8 brothers and sisters and not one of them had to pay for bills at the age of 16, to me it seems unfair, but i guess i have to do it, i mean were struggling real bad. Im really nervous about school, making friends is really hard to do these days, because the kids are so judgemental and i dont like that, its not fair to judge someone when you dont even know them. School will be no big deal i guess, i was homeschooled for a while before we moved here when i was having my anxiety again so this is my first time going back to public school in 7 months. and before that i only went for 3 months and before that i was homeschooled for another 7 months. Its insane. I wish i could just get better, everyone keeps telling me that one day i will wake upp and say to my self, thats it, im done with this. im just waiting for that day.
When I had anxiety as a child my parents were told to get me a pet, now I was also on meds but my puppy gracie helped alot too
