Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself as I am new - I didn't post this in the 'welcome' section as have more I need to expand and talk about. My names Sasha, I'm 16 from the UK.
So I haven't actually been diagnosed by a doctor with any mental health issues of course focusing on anxiety but myself and my councellor think I have it plus other mental health issues. The only reason I haven't been diagnosed is because I'm too anxious to go and speak to anyone, I worry they will judge me and think I'm stupid for even suggesting I have mental health issues; also I'd have to go alone as my parents don't understand and are hard to talk too about these sorts of things so I'm worried about going alone.
The reason I think I have anxiety is because i literally worry 24/7 about anything and everything, I worry about stupid things that aren't even worth worrying about, sometimes I'll have this deep feeling of dread and I won't even know what I'm worried about it's horrible! I'm always stressed and have a lot on my mind; I haven't had my period properly for almost a year now due to stress also I'm always feeling faint, getting terrible headaches and blurred vision which I think may be accociated with it.
At night time I have struggle sleeping/staying asleep because I always have so much on mind, I go through scenarios of bad occurrances in my head which make me want to be sick and just worry more. Everytime I'm about to do something or in social situations my heart beats so rapidly that I feel like it's going to pop out my chest for example if I have to ask someone to pass me a textbook or something stupid like that my heart will just start beating so quickly it hurts my chest.
I'm also never happy, I try my best but there's always thoughts bringing me down and making me feel horrible about myself. My friends don't care everytime I try and talk to them they'll change the subject and talk about themselves. It makes me so sad as the only person I have to talk to is my councellor I'm thinking of calling up my doctor for an appointment next week, I'm just scared and need advice, thankyou:)
