So on Saturday I had this minor pain on my lower right abdomen and my hypochondriac mind thought it was appendicitis and my parents had to calm me down. Then yesterday I woke up with no pain at all...

I know what you're going through, I also have GAD. I worry about everything and I don't like any change or surprise at all. Recently I've noticed I started forgetting things more often than I...

Oh sorry, I forgot to check my email or this forum for any replies, I guess I got kind of distracted these last few days.
Anyway, I'm a bit better, yes, I go to school and I have a counselor but...

So for those who don't know, I'm 13 years old and I have GAD (not diagnosed, and this is one of the main reasons why, but I'm 100% sure I have it because the symptoms are too similar)

Okay, so...

Since the day my anxiety started, I developed fears I never had before. Now, I would always put those fears into certain groups and thought I had to get over them individually.
Recently, I figured...

That's because it's not an avatar, it's a profile picture which only shows on your profile. You have to go into the profile settings and go under "edit avatar" and choose your picture there, then it...

Wow, I don't know what to say. What I just read is so amazing, beautiful and inspiring. You've been through a lot but you never gave up and kept trying, that just shows how amazing and strong you...

Thanks for the advice! I really like the humor one, since I like humor and sarcasm, I think that would be pretty effective. The acceptance one is too, I do try to let my anxiety be there but...

Energy....

So obviously I have things and hobbies that make me happy in my life, but anxiety just has to jump in.
It's like, when I do something that makes me happy, my brain goes like: "Oh? You're having a...

That's nice to hear that you're inspired, I sometimes also get inspired from people who recovered anxiety or deal with it well. Yeah it's pretty scary, never been so terrified my whole life. But as I...

Thanks a lot guys, when I wrote that I was in an extreme panic attack, even though it didn't look like it. I was 100% sure I was gonna die or pass out cause I thought I was breathing wrong and that...

Okay I know I already made a thread today but this is urgent.

These are my thoughts now: Am I breathing properly? Oh god, if I'm not breathing properly I'll die. I don't want to die, please...

Like, when I'm not anxious or I'm slightly anxious, I keep telling myself: "Why couldn't I just do that when I have a panic attack? It seems so simple. If I had a panic attack right now I bet I could...

Oh thanks, haha. Yeah usually when I tell people I'm 13 they think I'm some stupid 13 year old kid who isn't supposed to be taken seriously. That's why I sometimes lie about my age age (online). I...

I exposed myself to my trigger (loud rain and thunderstorms.) Basically I got anxious again and I got flashbacks of my first panic attack. I just let the anxiety be there, take over me, accepting it,...

Kudos to both of you for reading my story. :) Yes, I know I'm pretty young to be dealing with these things but I am already exposed to a lot of things in the world so no wonder I have anxiety. I also...

Okay, this is going to be long because I want to let out things as much as possible. So if you're not going to read atleast most of it, please don't even bother.

Hi, I'm 13 years old and I'm going...

I had so many new fears when I first had anxiety, but I'll say the main ones:
Hypochondria (health anxiety),
fear of my parents dying,
fear of myself dying,
fear of never recovering from...

Hello, I am a 13 year old with anxiety. I'm not diagnosed but I'm certain I have it, and I came here because I thought why not? Maybe it will help me. To be honest I'm kind of nervous while writing...
