I need some advice

...See more Hey everyone, I have a problem with a friend/teacher from school and I really need some advice. It all started last year. I was taking chemistry. It was awful because I hated the teacher. I ended up dropping chemistry second semester. The teacher was really sweet and told me that if I dropped the class, then I had stop in and say hi every once in a while. I ended up loving this teacher, but for some reason, I always get really nervous before I go and see her. I have no reason not to trust her and yet I still don't. The pandemic changed our relationship. There have been times when she has been too busy to talk to me and it always upsets me because I get so worked up about talking to her. She is literally the kindest person that I know and while I am talking to her, I feel great. I am always sad when the conversation is over. She did tell me that I don't have to ask her. I stopped in her classroom today and was busy. I was super upset because I was really anxious beforehand. I left and started crying. Should I stop talking to her or should I keep talking to her?

...See more I had the most awful day at school. I have been meeting with my chemistry teacher for help. I don't trust this teacher, even though I think she is genuine and kind. But, I had a rough past. My teacher kindly told me that I need to ask questions and told me that her time is valuable. She did not mean to upest me and she told me she really wants to help me, but I am upset and I feel guilty. I have decided to get a tutor, who is my age, I am thinking that will make me more comfortable. I want to tell my teacher this, but I don't know whether or not it will make me feel worse. What should I do?

I hate school

...See more I am almost failing chemistry because of my anxiety. I am getting help from the teacher who I have trouble trusting. She is so nice. It is hard for me to trust nice people. I told her about my anxiety, and she was understanding, but I think I made my situation worse. Every day I dread going to chemistry. I meet with my teacher after school twice a week. I get so scared when I have to ask her a question or I get stuck on a problem. I get extremely nauseous before and during our help sessions and in class. I got so scared one time that I started shaking and my heart was pounding. I panicked because I could not calm down. I was too wrapped up in my own world that I wasn't prepared. I wanted to crawl up in a hole that day. Thankfully, that has not happened again, but I am afraid it will. I wish I could tell my teacher this, but I don't know how. My mother thinks it's the teacher's fault I am almost failing. Now I have to get a tutor and I think it will make things worse. I could have prevented all of this.
