@phantomsmask

I recommend the self-help guide at bottom of path menu here which has school/work related anxiety specific information which can help. Also mindfulness-anxiety section has tracks for generalized anxiety relief.

@phantomsmask You're a teenager or in college? There's always a reason/cause for anxiety. I used to get nervous in high school when we'd have to do presentations. Or I'd get really anxious hanging out w/my friends and their boyfriends or going to parties. See, I was the big girl in the group. I got teased a lot. I also got criticized and yelled at by my mother almost every day. How did I deal w/this stuff almost 20 years ago before fancy computers, Ipods, cell phones, texting, etc? I used to have this notebook and write stories or poems. I listened to music all the time. I played the Sega or Super Nintendo w/my lil bro. I read Goosebumps and Harry Potter. I babysat my neighbors' kids every Saturday while they went to the bar. I went fishing. Camping. Car shows. Festivals. State Fair. Circus. Library to use their computers when the internet finally started to come out in 2000. lol Facebook and Twitter is giving people anxiety too. We have to get out and do things that make us happy. Those people that teased me in high school? I see some of them occassionally at the store or on the streets .. they say hi and how r u and move along. Nobody cares when you get older. I wish I would've known that in high school, I would've stopped being so nervous and anxious! Being a geek is ok! The geeks are the ones who end up being successful anyway! Just be you and be happy my dear! Please. I feel so bad for this generation.
