Well done for telling your mum.. She's probably right, after all she knows you best .. Let's put things into perspective you're 12 , it's highly unlikely to be anything but growing pains.. My son and daughter have them too.

Anxiety though is different, you shouldn't be having to go through this at such a young age .. Keep talking to your mum and see if you can get too the bottom of things.. Do some breathing exercises and find something you really love to do.. To take your mind off things that are worrying you .. Hope this helps.

Awww luvly. My daughter is 12 so i feel sad that you feel this way and have to come on this forum. So great that you can tell your mum these feelings - keep talking to her and tell her that you feel a bit worried. Maybe ask her to take you to the doctor and they will check you all over and tell you that you are awesome and that you body is going through some changes that are making you feel this way. Also if you are feeling a bit worried then it is likely that your muscles are a bit tight and sore so ask mum if she can massage your shoulders. There are some fanstastic apps (if you are allowed to download them onto your phone or laptop) that help with relaxation and anxiety. The best one is called Smiling Mind - is was developed by some very smart australians specifically for kids - please have a look at this - it is being used in schools all over australia because let's face it - being a kid is hard work and sometimes a bit stressful! I am in australia so grab a map or look on google and see where we are!! Good luck and let us know how you get on. Vbee 😘
