Need to Cool Off from Stress

Hey, I'm here because I need to talk to someone who doesn't really know me, if that makes sense.
I'm in high school, and last year I had tons and tons of anxiety attacks in school, solely from being IN school. I'm getting better with handling that much, but not completely. I'm preparing myself for the next school year.
Meanwhile, my mom is having a new baby two days before I go back to school. The idea of a new baby stresses me out--I've never had siblings before.
I can get through going back to school, and I can get through having a new baby, but both together I'm scared is going to overload me when August comes. Anyone know how I can cope and just take a breather? I'm making these things bigger than they should be...

(I might've posted this in the wrong forum--forgive me!!)

Hello, thisisfine.

Stress Management, Coping with Stress

I wish you well.

Hi thisisfine, Going back to school and having a new baby in the house is reason to feel some stress. Try to think of the good things You are going to be a big sister! That is awesome! Congratulations!
I also suggest trying to stay in the moment school hasn't started yet and the baby is not here yet, just live day to day, you can't do anything about what hasn't happened. Look at it as a good experience. We are here for you.

Dear thisisfine,

OH my, this new baby and you will have a big age gap.
How do YOU personally feel about the situation, do you think that your mom is pressuring
you as you havent mentioned a father figure (yours/new b daddy)?

As for school, try not to pre worry over things.
"I'm making these things bigger than they should be."
Yes and No. It is a matter of perception that makes things feel the way we do.

What concerns me is, this is your life, soon 3 years school will be over, and you will have more power and control.
Everyday a little bit stronger. You are the author of your life and only you can change.
Be responsible and go to college/hold off pregnancy for the next 10 years. Find a passion for the arts /history/culture.
I hear in your tone the need to escape from xyz and take a breath, that sounds wonderful, how can you make that happen? Nothing is impossible.

TRY to talk to someone about your thought process.
Or come here, lots of people who are going through similar things, use their age and wisdom to help benefit yourself.
