anxiety, insomia and more (read to found out!!)

[bonnie_the_bunny]

i have no idea how to start this...

hi i'm new here, i recently found out i suffer from anxiety and i also have insomnia.

ive been having trouble sleeping for the past 18 months, i normally don't get to sleep till 2 or 3 in the morning and im not a morning person, i normally be late for school or sleep in for too long and theres no point going to school. i sometimes have trouble with school work because i get tired and i get distracted easily.

recently i found out i have anxiety, before i found out that i have anxiety i would feel anxiuos a lot and nervous about things, i wouldn't eat much because i would feel sick for no reason and still happens to this day.

since i got distracted easily i would find it hard to understand the teacher and would start to draw or do something else. sometimes i would have to ask the teacher to explain the questions or what were doing or even sometimes i would ask a friend. i cant stand studying because i get distracted easily and i like to do my own thing instead of doing boring maths or any other subjects...

i am happy with my shcool though even know i dont understand most of my teachers and get distracted easily, have anxiety and insomnia. im happy because i have a lot of people who care about me although i have someone who i like and that person likes me to but the person wont talk to me because the person is to busy and moved away but i still really like that person and hope to here from that pertucular person soon😆

thankyou to those people who read my post and understood of what i have and been going through ☺

and thankyou again to the beyond blue community 😁😉😊🙂😆

Hi bonnie the bunny,

Firstly, welcome to the forums. It looks like you may have posted the same thread twice so I will reply to this one.

I am an anxiety sufferer myself and when my anxiety was at its peak I struggled to sleep and was so tired during the day as well, so I know the feeling.

My question for you is, when you said you found out you had anxiety, was this diagnosed through a doctor? Are you currently seeing a doctor or even a school counsellor to get help with the anxiety you are feeling?

The good news is you can come through this, many great people on these forums have dealt with anxiety and come out from it, it's just getting the right help and if you haven't I do encourage you to go to local GP or school counsellor to talk about this. Have you told anyone in your family about this as well?

My best for you,

Jay

Hi bonnie the bunny,

That's ok, it isn't easy posting at all so be proud you did that, it's a step in the right direction of recovery and that is the most important. I can't stress enough how much you should get down to see a doctor, go with your mum as well, and speak to them, call a clinic that is local and ask if there are any doctors that specialise in mental health issues. If you feel you cannot talk about it, try your best to write down dot points on your feelings and take them to the doctor and give them the dot points and they will be able to work it out.

My best,

Jay
