experience anxiety and panic, because family issues and mother's health, and studies

Stress

Anxiety

Right so I'm in England, year 8 at secondary school. I have one term left and it's scary. It really is terrifying to think it has moved so quickly from year 7 to year 8 to now year 9. Year nine is where it begins to get tough. Suddenly everyone is focused on options, options, options and it is really hard to follow when all this stress is about. My mum is getting an operation this month, a pretty large one that is going to take around 2 hours to do so I'm really nervous. Not for her not waking up again, I mean she's got it done around 2 times (that haven't properly worked) already so I'm not worried in that aspect. I'm generally worried about the actual aftermath: the pain, the changes ect along with my school stress it's going to get alot harder. I had a panic attack last night. Well I think I did, it matched all the symptoms and God it was scary. Traumatizing to be completely honest. You see, my parents just don't get it, they never have understood my health when I have spoken to my teachers that have rang them and all that. I kind of just speak to my friends and 1 teacher that has helped me through everything. I remember having a meltdown at the end of class and she rushed over and sat on the floor with me until I could breathe better. Not speaking, nor having physical contact, more just being there when it got really hard. Any ways that isn't too relevant. So it's safe to say all this is getting harder and only harder expecially with my current circumstances and emotions mixed together. I guess I just needed a rant ; please leave some advice or just some nice words of encouragement. This is my 1st thing so I hope it is 'alright'? Anyways stay safe and be the best you can be. Take it one day at a time and just try and open up. Xx

Hey, It must be tough on you going through so much. I suggest for your studies or career options follow something your passionate about and if you haven’t figured it out then take time. Please, support your Mother and be a pillar of support for her. For your panic attacks, you know the situations so try doing breath control exercise as they help get your mind of the attack. There is nothing wrong in expressing yourself so don’t take it as a rant. Your a very caring person so stay the same 😊

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am really glad you could actually express how you felt. Yeah I know how difficult it started to get in terms of subjects and everything but, I think you should try manage your study time in a way that you’re able to cover your syllabus on time. You can segregate your study material, set time slots for subjects and study, take help of online videos to make you understand the concept easily. Virtual learning aids helps a lot. I hope your Mom recovers with full power this time, it’s really courageous of you to acknowledge her pain and what she has to go through. I can sense responsibility and concern in your words. Stay strong, do what you can to keep you motivated and to give your mom strength to be able to bear with the aftermath, it’s going to be even more difficult for her.. but trust me you being there to support her will give her motivation and strength. You are doing great! I am glad you share how you feel with your friends and your teacher helped you in the way you wanted. I can only imagine the stress you must be experiencing. But please don’t lose hope, you have coped with it earlier you will do it again. More power and loads of strength to you. Feel free to share here anytime you want. We are here to support you.

Sometimes we just wanna share how we feel without being judged. Even if we dont eexactly get what we want after sharing and i mean a solution. Yes you are going through difficulties and sometimes its hard to manage with everything piling on top of each other. Its difficult to make a choice when we are given so many options. My advice pick 3 options and make a pro and cons list it will help get things in perspective and top it up with what u wnjoy doing, hopefully it will make things easier. You have to be strong for ur mom its her 3rd surgery and she needs your support. If your parents are not uunderstanding with wwhat u r going through then confide in your teacher or counsellor and ask them to talk to them. Thanks for sharing and hopefully u find what u looking for
