Hi Zykra. Sorry you are so anxious going to school. Have you considered talking to a therapist or support group to find out what is triggering your anxiety?

This article was a big help to many people when we went over it in Anxiety Support Chat Friday at 8PM EDT.
How to Halt and Minimize Panic Attacks | Psych Central

Sleep is one of the most important ways to deal with challenges. I used to come home from school and take a nap I was so stressed after school. Sleeping can make a big difference. But sleeping too much can be a sign of depression. How are you sleeping?

In the meantime, lifestyle changes can give a little boost. Here are some of the things that help me. I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.

Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.

Many people here at PC find they can share these feelings and what they are going through with the confidence that people go through similar things and can empathize. So many forums are offered as well as Chatrooms (after you have 5 posts or comments on others posts). Depression chat meets on Thursday night at 9pm EST and Anxiety Friday at 8PM.

Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share.
