Living With Anxiety

[krhod28]

For the past roughly 4 years I’ve been experiencing anxiety, over the past 2 years it has gotten worse and I constantly feel overwhelmed. I can’t go anywhere without feeling anxious, I get emotional and my bowel movements just get going and it has gotten to the point that I can’t deal with it anymore, I’m tired of it. I have to skip school some days because my stomach gets so bad.

krhod28, Welcome to this amazing support forum. You're so young but something

must have happened in your life 4 years ago which prompted your anxiety to get even

worse in the past 2 years. It sounds like your anxiety is so overwhelming now that it's

affecting you both physically and mentally. Have you seen your doctor regarding

the physical symptoms. Are you on any medication for anxiety? Therapy?

Once anxiety starts to disrupt our day (such as your school) it's time to have some

professional help in addressing the origin of your anxiety as well as the stomach issue.

I'm glad you are here with us. We can be a safe harbor for you to come and get the

understanding and caring you need at this time. I care. xx
