i havent been to my first and second periods for a week and I am constantly skipping classes just to stay at home. idk what is wrong with me. I get so much anxiety walking into school that I physically and mentally cant go no matter how hard I try. I hate that im ruining my life and it’s really scary and lonely feeling. i feel like i am crumbling and there is no way out. my parents are so disappointed in me and my friends too. im scared.

@caudillihh1

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. That heavy, sinking feeling the anxiety, the loneliness, the fear of letting people down it’s all so overwhelming, and I need you to know that you’re not alone in this. What you’re going through is real, and it’s not your fault.  

Anxiety can be absolutely paralyzing. It’s not just a “mind over matter” thing, and you’re not weak for struggling with it. The fact that you’re aware of what’s happening and that you want to change it shows how strong you really are, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.  

I know it feels like you’re ruining your life, but I promise you you’re not. You’re just stuck in a tough moment, and moments do pass. There is a way out, even if you can’t see it yet. You don’t have to do this alone. Please reach out to someone—a teacher, a counselor, a friend, or even just someone who will listen without judgment. You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself.  

I wish I could just sit with you right now and remind you that you’re not broken. You are not a disappointment. You are not beyond help. You are so much more than this struggle And I know that right now, it feels like you’re crumbling, but even when things break, they can be rebuilt. You can get through this. One step at a time, one breath at a time. You are not alone.

SAME. I’m definitely further in the school year now but I also definitely took advantage of the 14 days I COULD take off. I took of 6 days from school in one marking period (out of 4) and it was only ‘cause I didn’t finish work because I procrastinate so much. I also do struggle with anxiety… but I’m not anxious with school, more like just the work. My parents are too disappointed, but with the little friends I have, they just think I’m sick or tired. I tell them the truth that I’m mentally drained and I’m so sick of school I can’t wait for summer. Good luck on the rest of the school year. I wanna let you know you can do it because you’re supposed to have ups and downs in life Don’t think it’s the end, literally if u go to school and use every last percent of your energy, I congratulate you. I watched thewizardliz on Yt and she sort of helped me survive school even though it’s more older audience directed. I wish you the best of luck ACTUALLY I’m not just saying that to say that I relate to extent and want you to improve. Seek help from your counselor if you can. Bye!

@caudillihh1 Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot, and I'm sorry that you're going through this. Anxiety can make it really difficult to do what we normally would, like taking care of personal hygiene or going to school like you mentioned. 

Our capacity can change from day to day. If you only have 10% to give on a particularly difficult day and you give 10%, then you're putting in 100% of your effort. It sounds like you’re trying really hard to keep going despite how overwhelming everything is, and I hope you can give yourself some credit for that. 

You also don’t have to work through this by yourself. If you’re able to, consider reaching out to someone you trust, whether that’s a parent, friend, or an adult at school who can help you figure out the next steps from here. You're already making great progress by recognizing what you're going through and having the courage to share it with us. I wish you the best, and I hope things start to feel a little easier for you soon. 💛
