Anxiety

[Reinaa]

Hi everyone, I've migrated to Sydney for about three years. It's hard for me to make friends at my school. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, OCD and other things that I don't remember. And sorry for my horrible grammar and tenses, I just want to share my experiences. I was really shy at school and I hardly make any friends. I feel scared talking to people, even at rolecall when the teacher say my name. I'm having issues at home. My parents are arguing because of me all the time. They fight infront of me and my sister and it feels very bad. My father was a very traditional men who was sometimes selfish. I feel that my father don't like me since I was young, I don't know what should I do.

Hi, Reinaa.

You are not alone. Try the kids' helplines or speak to the teacher in charge of your year at school. What about the school counsellor? 

It must be so upsetting to have your parents argue in front of you and it is not a good environment. Could htey get some help and support to help them deal with the situation? It is a difficult situation for them, too. 

Are there any clubs at school dedicate to hobbies you're interested in, like drama or a sport? This is a way of meeting different people and making new friends.

Hope you're feeling better soon.
