Hi, i would like start of by saying, i dont know what im doing. i dont even know where to start because of how overwheamed i feel. how to i express my feelings without complaning? i dont want to compalian. so, its currently 4:33 AM and am trying to do homeowork. You may be wondering why? why at this time? well, i will tell you. its becuase the day is not for me. do u know why? its because during the day the house is loud. if i wear my headphones my ears will hurt and i will get fustrated at the noise. i also need to do chores. i dont know what im even saying. i dont even know why im writing and posting this. this just sounds silly. you know, i went to the doctor becuase my chest was hurting, and they said it was becuase of panic attacks, and that i was shaking, high blood pressure, and heart beating fast. but now im wondering if the doctor was wrong, what if it wasnt because of stress? what if it was becaue of the mask i wore for hours at school, not compaing for wearing a mask by the way. During the day my family will come into my room and intrupt me, while i try and do homework. sometimes i fell bad for taking long oding homework, and i wonder if im actullay learning something. i feel like im not good enough. if i go to the libray my parens will be annoyed at the face they have to pick me up and drop me off. i am doing 3 science subjects. i dont really like phyics or doing particularlly well it in it, so i want to change it do HHD, but then there is something in me, saying what if i will able to do phyics and not fail, and if i drop phyicis that not good enough, im not good enough, i am worthless. at the same time i dont like phyics. IDK. tell me, am i overreacting. You know, after that doctors apointment, i cried in the car, while my dad was in it, because i felt like i was crazy and out of control. alsot the doc said i was skinny, hoever i have allways been ksinny, no matter how much i eat i dont gain weight and i also look younger than i really am. when i have a break from doing homeowrk, i struggleto go back to my desk and get going with it after my break, i stat to procarte and how longer breaks. after i do chores, i dont feel lie doing homework sometiemes. idk if its sbecause maybe i found doing the chores as a btter option than doing homeowkrk. i feel out of control. its currently 4:50 AM. what has my life become? idk?

Dejena it definitely sounds like you’re finding life very stressful at the moment. Being a student is hard.
The panic attacks you describe sound very intense. You describe a loud house, how many people live at your house? And how is your relationship with your parents?

I’m asking questions to sort of get a better picture of your situation. I see you have a lot of thoughts and want to get them all out, but it can also be good to talk in a back and forth kind of way like this - it’s part of how we do our thinking, by talking in this way with another human. So if you can, just slow your thinking down..
I’ll just put the questions here again so they’re at the bottom. You said you have a loud house, do you have brothers and/or sisters as well? What is your relationship with your parents like?

I’m well thank you 🙂
Do you ever talk to your parents about your anxiety and panic symptoms, or about your anxiety related to school work?
School is a very stressful time. I certainly don’t look back at it fondly..
So tell me, what’s this HHD you want to change from physics to, and what’s your other two science subjects?
