Why? (Anxiety related questions)?!
Question: Ok, I am anxious almost all the time. I have my great days, where I am not anxious at all, but those are rare. This week was a bad week. I was anxious almost the whole time, and had a panic attack last night. Sometimes I just get so sick of it! I feel like I have no one to talk to. I tried talking to my friends awhile ago, but none of them understand. They say to just relax, but they don't realize that I can't just turn the anxiety off! So next week I am going to go to my School counselor to talk. I hope. I am so scared that she will judge me, or what other kids will think if I go to the counselor. I am scared that I won't have the nerve to go.
Should I go? Can she help? I just really need someone to talk to. I am afraid to tell my parents, because they will probably A. Not believe me, B. Think I am doing it for attention, or C. I will disapoint them. I know I need to talk to them eventually, but right now I just can't!!

I think you should definitely talk to your counselor.. who cares what other people think, seriously, thats what he/she is there for.
they may suggest going to see your doctor
ever considered prescriptions?
I have huge issues with anxiety a lot of the time. usually about the silliest things, school, pleasing other people, etc.
truth is you shouldn't have to feel that way =]
oh and I totally know what you mean about crawling into bed forever. I'm not sure if these are panic attacks but I totally have broken down and just sobbed for like, two hours straight a couple times before. its awful. I just want to sleep forever after that.
