I need help... o_O?!
Question: I have this extremely irrational fear of being late.
At school, (I'm in grade 8), if we are even 2 minutes late at lunch (after the bell rings) or after school I start panicking and I'm not even sure why anymore. This started around grade 5 and it was because I was worried that my mom would think I was dead (*shakes head* -_-) but now I've gotten over that and I don't know why I freak out over it. I'm going to high school next year and so I need some kinds of tips or something that will help me get over this weird fear. Thanks. ^^

for one week, try and be late to everything. this sounds crazy, but seeing that nothing bad will happen if you are late might help with the anxiety. if you can tolerate the anxioety, then this should help you get over it. good luck in high school!
um, probably the best thing to do? Don't LOOK AT CLOCKS!! maybe it's gotta do with a past incident where you were really late to something important?
Well at my school [8th grade too!] we have a warning bell where its 1 minute before the bell rings. And I'm always hearing it and we have to run to get to class...and it seems like I had a while. So 1 minute isn't short at all...idk.
Well it's always great to be on time, but nobody's perfect... All anyone can ask of you is the best you can do, and that goes for everything you do in your life time... Don't worry if you are late sometimes, that's just the way it goes... People around you may dislike Mr. Perfect!!!!!!!!
