Are You Anxious to Go to School? (Let me help)

[@rebeccawilliams139]

It’s not that easy to just ignore anxiety or turn it into a good thought. I can’t just switch off my anxiety, I don’t choose to be like this, I want to go into school, I want to be able to have good friendships and enjoy school but I can’t.

[@Jake-pj8sk]

same here they say it's very easy but actually it's hard

[@readwritelaughlive1268]

I feel the same way but for some reason the very mention of school makes me want to sit in a corner curled up in a little ball.

[@rebeccawilliams139]

@@readwritelaughlive1268 hey, I forgot i even watched this video tbh. I just wanted to say. I am out of school now and dropped a lot of toxic friends from school. Things will get better, you have your whole life ahead of you to do amazing things with. you will get your freedom and you will find peace. grades arent as important as people say they are. a good therapist is a god send so if you can access therapy and search for a good therapist 100% do it. tips for dealing with anxiety in the moment. grounding techniques. fidget toys. breathing excersizes. tips for anxiety and school. ask for adjustments, speak to your teachers. they may seem scary but it is their job to help you and a lot of them do genuinly care and want to help.

Here are common school phobia fears: Fear of: Being called on in class by the teacher or having to give oral book reports Fear no one likes you Fear of groups, not being included, the last one chosen in a game, being ugly, not as good as others Fear of praying aloud Fear of calling attention to myself Fear of facial flushing when,: embarrassing situations, or Fear of confrontation.

Thats the main reason for my anxiety too

[@vogue_paris3106]

For me personally, it's mostly my English class I'm learning online currently, and I'm in online school. And for the rest of my classes, I don't really have to speak aloud in class. Just communicate through the chat. But in my English class, we have to speak up a lot and have open discussions and lead the class through talking aloud. And this always makes me nervous to speak up. There's nothing wrong with talking in general, but I still get nervous in certain social settings. I know it will get better, but still. If anyone is reading this just know that it will get better as time goes on I hope anyone who reads this comment has a blessed day and take it easy one day at a time you will get through your anxiety or stress! :]

[@asmrslol848]

In my experience, I had to practice to not care sometimes. Thinking about what others would say, how they’d look at me, and say about me, I had to learn the hard way. It’s a process to overcome anxiety, you have to learn to take one step at a time, and *not just stay stuck in one place forever.* It’s not easy, but it’s never easy for someone to overcome a flaw, EVERYONE has a difficult time when they’re trying to overcome. SO JUST, DO IT

I am 33 yo, a licensed social worker and since first grade up until now have school anxiety refusal. I learned about school refusal only a year ago because i decided to google it - what i was feeling deep inside. I was shocked and happy at the same time that finally there was a name for this thing going on inside of me since i was 6yo. As a child, I had separation anxiety when i entered first grade. For the whole year i cried in school and didn’t want my parents or nanny to leave my sight. Everyday i would cry, run out of the classroom and out of the school gate to run after my father who was walking towards his office which was a block away from my school. While running away, i would see my teachers running after me also, calling me to go back to the classroom but they couldn’t catch me. That went on for a year. It was hard. Even until now that i wish to study masters degree, i still get anxious just thinking of enrolling and going to school. Really hard.

Well honestly i never had this feeling up until boarding school.i was actually in a boarding campus for a month and i started getting extremely sick down the stomach and i always felt alienated and zombified.the whole environment over there made me feel trapped despite the place having a lot of good activities.i made an expensive decision and decided to leave the place for good and when i switched to a day scholaring school,i was feelin just fine until our school announced that they will be starting the offline classes .i felt really nervous and miserable. Also,i started getting waves of shock inside the stomach (i cant think of any other way to explain it )everytime i thought bout going to school the next day and immediately the need to take a piss urges up as well.not a single day passes by without me letting out a couple of tears in a quiet corner.i dont feel comfortable talking bout this in social media at all cause i dont feel like creating a goddamn scene.i also forgot to mention that i get sick at the thought of embarrassing myself in my new school .i am in 12th at the moment and i believe that this time of life is extremely crucial for every teenager out there.sometimes i feel really down cause my parents automatically start assuming that i am emotionally blackmailing them with my so called "health condition'".pls ...if there is anyone out there who have been on the same boat as me then pls help me out.. :( i just wanna be normal and focus on my academics.

[@warmtherobloxian4127]

I was looking to see if anybody had felt sick like they needed to use the bathroom, because I have that very same problem. Just the thought of school makes me sick and the worst part is that I'm worried that I'll be stuck in a room filled with other random kids and I went to the counselor once and she just told me that it basically wasn't a big deal and sent me right back to class, even when I tried to explain myself. I'm trying to figure out how I can at least live with it, at least start writing a little bit since I overthink too much, and I try looking at my backpack and have it on my lap to feel better (I count little details and stuff to keep my mind from exploding). This feeling only happened randomly one day when I woke up to school, but it was weird because I would feel so sick that I couldn't even eat and although I went to school still, it was like I couldn't hold the urge to go to the bathroom, but then I would feel relieved the moment I would get home. If you are still in school, I know you've got this! I would recommend thinking about something you love, for example, a game you've been wanting to try, and you can make a theory about it or even draw something just to keep your mind at ease. Good luck

My daughter is obsessively scared of throwing up 24/7 😥😥

[@ellaternus7265]

Brittany Paas OH MY GOSH. I had this same problem up until a few months ago. I’m 14 by the way. I actually got sea sick on vacation and ever since then I had a huge fear about throwing up. It was to the point where I wouldn’t go places and I wouldn’t want to eat or do anything that could possibly make me sick. My brain would play tricks on me and the anxiety would kick in and I’d keep telling myself “Ella you’re going to throw up what’re you gonna do?!!! You need to leave right now oh my gosh.” But I never actually threw up ever. I understand that fear your daughter is having and I’ve gotten through it. The fear is so ridiculous to some people but I’ve cried and had anxiety attacks over it. Some advice I have is to get to know your surroundings and stay focused on what you’re doing. Also, make her go to the places she’s scared to go to because that really helped me. Even when she is convinced that she will throw up, trust me she won’t. Been there done that. I have stayed back from places because I was scared of barfing and when I see how much fun other people have had, it makes me sad and seriously mad at myself for not going. Also let her know that throwing up is a natural body function. And if she’s worried about other people judging, let her know that nobody cares, they will only feel bad for you. I hope you read this to your daughter because I have gone through this and it’s hell. I never stopped thinking about it. But hey, I got over it.

[@ashleypg1708]

You're not alone. After my kiddo got sick in school, he had INTENSE anxiety about getting sick at school again. He never wanted to go. He'd cry and have panic attacks and even felt nauseated and on the verge of puking from the anxiety. It just compounded the fear. I set up an appt with the school counselor. It helped a little. I also set up an appt with our pediatrician-- this actually helped more! Having his doctor tell him: There's nothing wrong with you, you're very healthy, but I BELIEVE you feel sick everyday and are afraid of puking. Here's what you can do to feel better in those moments..." (My son had told me he did think something was seriously wrong w him bc he felt sick all the time, so it felt reassuring for his doctor to tell him he didn't have anything wrong w him...) And then the doctor told him ways he could help the nausea go away. He could lay his head down on the desk and practice deep breathing and he taught him how to breathe and for how long, practicing with him. He also reminded him that NOT going to school would make it worse. So any time he made it a whole day without calling me, or any time he got out of the car each morning when he didn't want to: we celebrated those victories. It got better. It takes time, but your kiddo will get there!

I also don’t get bullied but my fear is that whenever I say something I feel like all the students are thinking in their mind like “wth wdym” girls my grade also spread rumors every time saying “ I HEARD A RUMOR THAT “me” HAS COVID” or “ I HEARD A RUMOR THAT “me”’s FAMILY IS ILL, and that is obviously not true and I get called a pick me girl cause of it.

My son freaks out about leaving me because I nearly died at his birth

[@jasgamingzone4046]

I’m scared to go to school because I’m scared someone will kidnap me or something

[@martacalkiewicz8437]

My daughter stopped going to school because of social fear. She was avoiding going to school and now she’s homeschooled

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

Sorry to hear about her struggles :-(

[@martacalkiewicz8437]

AT Parenting Survival for All Ages I just wish I had this video and your KZbin channel months ago

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I wish you did too :-( Social anxiety is my passion, as I and my oldest daughter both deal with it. I am currently working on an online class to help kids & adults beat social anxiety. I hope I can help kids with this, as it has been horrible to live with for so many years. There will be many videos on social anxiety coming out in the next month or so. Stay tuned.

[@martacalkiewicz8437]

AT Parenting Survival for All Ages I will thank you very much I’m looking forward to watch them and learn from you

Can you pls share the link of your video on red and green thoughts

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

I think it may be social anxiety. Please help. I always feel like I need to pee in public, but whenever I go i never have a full bladder, it's only a couple drops. I know you already made a video about this topic but that's my core fear about school. Not even school, just being in public and thinking I need to pee. And thinking I'm going to pee my pants.

[@Natashadanielsocdtherapist]

My daughter really struggled with that. We started doing “pee challenges” where she would ignore the fake signal that she had to go and would decide in advance when she would pee. At first it was in an hour, then it went to two hours, then three. It trained her brain to ignore the false message (even though it feels very real) that she has to pee. It built her confidence and now her anxiety around pee is sooo much better. That approach can be very effective.

[@astrahearts]

@@Natashadanielsocdtherapist Thanks for your help. I just started watching your videos today because I realized I had some kind of anxiety. Today I was going to the store to buy food. And when I got told that I stared getting nervous that there wouldn't be a bathroom close enough and I might pee myself and my heart stared beating fast and I was breathing heavily. I didn't want to go in the store, and I was shaking and sweating. Your videos are already helping me feel more powerful, and that I don't have to listen to my anxiety because all it likes to do is spit lies out at me. Thanks for all your help.

[@Raspbarry_]

Mental health issues are so difficult to have around uneducated people or parents, you do weird shit without nothing physical happening to you so they think you are insane
