Anxiety Is Always There

[__keira__]

Hello Keira, I really feel for you. What a lot of loss and pain you've been through in your short life. I...

Thank you for the reply. I have spoken to my mum about this and I have shown her what everyone on here has suggested. Here's a bit of an update- I have moved around in a few classes and all my teachers have been informed about me.at my school I have started up a group to help people going through stressful times. We have a room where people can go when they either feel stressed and worried or feel an attack coming on.
I led an assembly in which I told people about my story and I have found others who can relate. Now there are many people who are going into this room to calm down.
Tomorrow my mum is going to phone my gp and ask their advice on where to go to see a therapist.
All I can say is thank you to everyone who has replied. You have all made me think differently and look at things in a different way. I know that I am not alone

Keira, you are fantastic! My eyes welled up I was so proud of how you have looked after yourself and turned to help other...I wish you good luck as well with a therapist you can related to is equally. Your feelings are normal...I just wish someone had told me that when I was your age. AND, with help, love and support you will learn the skills to cope. That's one advantage to growing older. We all learn a bit how to help ourselves as we go through life's experiences. Feeling the suffering, letting the suffering, grief, fear and loss ride the waves of sensations through and out of your body will eventually free the heart enough to find a way to peace. We just have to stick with it and remain open hearted...but we do learn that we all share suffering so the experience hopefully draws us closer. Take care...Joie
