My friend has anxiety?!
Question: My friend has anxiety!?
Well my best friend is 15, earlier this year us girls had the 2nd dose of the cervical cancer needle!. she kinda ditched me!. We had a bit of a falling out!. The person she ditched me for started to ditch her!. She was bullied repeatedly by her!. They became friends again to my disgust!. There was a school camp (I didnt go) and at the disco there she fainted!. Apparently she doesnt remember the night, but my other friends told me that she was scared of being alone, and she was losing feeling in her body!. They had to be in the toilet cubicle with her while she was going to the bathroom!. It was very sad for me!.
She got back to school, and was bullied a bit more, but still her health was mainly fine!. Then me and her started to become friends again, untill she realised the ***** who bullied her was no friend!. She apologised and everything seemed fine!. One day at school she suddenly screamed and hugged me tightly!. She didnt want to look at anyone, and the principle had to take her and me to a quiet spot in the office!. She fainted 3 more times that week and kept loosing feeling in her body!. She was in Hospital for three weeks just sleeping and she couldnt even have more then 3 people in the hospital with her!.
She finally came back to school, but she never went to all classes!. She holds my hand alot and shakes all the time and keeps loosing feeling!. But she seemed tp be getting better, and eventually, she could walk the halls with people around her!. Then we had our third and last dose of the cervical cancer needle, and in Maths one day, she started crying and feeling claustrophobic!. She almost fainted and didnt come to school for the rest of the week!.
I am so worried about her!. She is not taking any medication, her mother wants her to do it herself, Could it have been the needle that caused this!? And how long do you think this will last!?
Thanks guys xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your friend really needs to go back to see her doctor and get help!. Anxiety is no laughing matter, and there are all kinds of medications that can help ease that initial sense of sheer panic that freezes a person, and allow you to get through the day!. Until she is able to gain some control over what is happening between her brain and body, medication is most likely nessecary, and maybe the doctor needs to tell the mom that!. Just be there for her, and try not to treat her any differenty!. She needs a good friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's unlikely that the needle caused it!. What is possible though is that your friend is frightened of the needles and this fear keeps getting expressed!. Of course the bullying wouldn't help and the needles might just be a coincidence!. She really needs to see a Clinical Psychologist for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy!. She was probably given medication in the hospital!. While this helped to some degree, without some form of ongoing cognitive behaviour therapy, she might find it difficult to recover properly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It sounds like your friend has developed severe social anxiety or agoraphobia after being bullied so badly!.
She may benefit from antidepressants and beta blockers!. Or other meds!. Take her for an evaluation by a qualified health professional who can prescribe some medications for her! Her mother should not force her to do this alone!. If not, some therapy at least!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
