What’s wrong with me? What should I do? Please help.

I am going to be a sophomore in high school next school year. I am supposed to go to summer camp in a month. I have been extremely excited but now I really don’t want to go. I keep trying to come up with excuses to go to the doctor and have them tell me that I can’t go. I’m also sick right now and I’ve had a fever for three days. I also threw up once and i’m very dizzy. I don’t know what to do. How do I get out of going? Why do I feel like this?

Why do you not want to go? Are you feeling nervous or anxious about being away at camp? Interacting with new people etc? Have you been to camp before?

Hi Olivia1225,

I often feel like I want to not attend things that I was keen to do.

I have recently been trying to do the opposite of what my emotions are telling me to do. It isn't an easy thing to do, but starting with little things can help.
