HELP! I get so nervous at sleepovers?!
Question: All right, so in a couple of months our class is taking a 3 night/4 day overnight trip, and I'm nervous. I used to NEVER get nervous at sleepovers, but then after a while my stomach started hurting and I felt REALLY nauseas. I think it was because I was afraid i wouldn;t get to sleep. I;m the type of person who doesn't sleep very well, and I want to have a good time at the trip without getting nervous or my stomach hurting. Ever since the first time my stomach started hurting I had to go home during EVERY sleep over. I don't WANT to go home anymore, I want to feel fine on my overnight trip. PLEASE HELP!

This sounds like social anxiety disorder (situational).. Talk to your mom about seeing a doctor about it -- it's possible that he/she can give you some medication before the sleepover to help you get through it without the jitters and stomach ache.
