Ok, so I'm suuuuuuuuper stressed about going back to school tomorrow because of people bullying me. I'm like this every weekend. I'm almost terrified about going to school every day because of people teasing me. And I also sometimes freak out because I think that there is an assignment I had to do over the weekend and turn in on Monday when there is never any weekend assignments. But I freak out anyways. I don't want to go to school or socialize with anyone because I'm afraid of people hating me for something or me saying something stupid.....please help.

I wish I had some good advice for you.I used to go thru that at school, too.Every Sunday evening, I would start going thru severe anxiety about Monday morning--and not just "not wanting to go to school." I got a lot of bullying too, but even b4 the bullying got too bad. By the 6th grade, I was already starting to feel like some kind of freak and my depression was really starting to kick in--and I developed a little earlier than a lot of my classmates which, not only made me feel more self conscious, but the hormonal aspect didn't help. I was starting to need to shower more around that time, but my mom was a pathetic drunk, and I was only allowed one shower a month (which didn't help my social situation at ALL). It was also real obvious that she liked my younger brother, more than she liked me, and she also let it be known that I disgusted her. She would buy my brother brand new clothes every couple of months, but would not buy me any! So I had to wear rags to school, and people thought I came from a poor family--although I did not. I eventually started stealing clothes from the department stores just so I could have something decent to wear to school. I still struggle with social anxiety to this day. Sorry for the long rant.

So, at school, there is very little support for your situation have ever called the Hopeline? Google it and find it the net. You could talk to live people.

I don't know if desensitization would be effective in your situation. It's easier to say it, then work at it with something that will take time.

I understand the fear and anxiety. Everyday my progress is slow and difficult to speed up in overcoming it. Take care.
