Answers:
I know exactly how you feel!. I used to get so worked up before school that I would actually vomit!. Sitting in a classroom waiting for my turn to give a presentation, the worst! I could look down and see my heart pounding in my chest!. Yes, you too have an anxiety problem!. I won't say it is a disorder because this is normal for a lot of people!. This is who you are!. I bet you've always been a little worry wart, haven't you!? I finally had to get put on meds several years ago, it helped, but it is still my nature to worry and stress!. I notice this stress problem amplifies during certain times of my cycle!. Talk to your mother, I'm sure she will know exactly what to do to help you!. Just tell her what you told us!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This does sound like it could be an anxiety disorder!. It isn't stupid, and you mom should understand how you feel because she is a nurse!. Talk to her!. There are medications that can help you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc!.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc!.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level!.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication!. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac!.

The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced!.!.!. you have that "learned behavior" in your mind!. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this!. A technique that you canb use without CBT will be Distraction!.!.!. There are several other techniques to help cope them! Learn more at the source =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Talking to your Mom is a very good idea!. I'm sure she will be more than happy to listen and support you!.

I have anxiety disorder and suffer from occasional panic attacks!.

Some people just tend to get nervous about things more than others too!.
It could be that you have some low self esteem issues and stress yourself out because of that!.

Being nervous before going to a new class or starting school is very normal though!. If you find yourself worrying about every little thing that might be different!.

Try journaling your feelings/fears for awhile and then look back on it to see how much you really do worry!. One forgets very easy!. By journaling you can asses your behavior and take it from there!.

Like I said, talking to your Mom is the first best step!.

Good luck and hang in there, and remember that you loved dance class before and once you are in the class, you will love it again :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
