advice
i don't know exactly what i'm asking. & i don't know if anyone will be able to help. but i do need help. and it'd be appreciated if you do try.
i have depression, in addition, i'm most likely the shyest person on planet earth. i don't have too many friends because of both of these. in feel really insecure about my social life as well as myself. each time i attend school i feel like everyone's judging me & in a terrible way. In a way, i'm scared to show up to school. the idea of it really scares me. i psyche myself out for it. each day i think i'll go to school, but i get ready in the morning, can't find the right thing to wear & break down. See, i haven't exactly been to school for two weeks now. usually my dad would make me go to school; but in a sense he's given up. & i have to. each day i don't show up for school i realize that it will be harder to go back. but i can't bring myself to go. i haven't been in contact with friends in days & feel like i'll use the few i have, and i'm in the proccess of doing so. i don't know why i feel so bad, and i don't know why school is so scary for me. i want to feel better & be better but i'm doing nothing to helo myself.
so i guess i'm asking a few things.
1. why is it that school is scary to me?
2. how can i make it less scary?
3. ... just any advice is what im looking for. thought - or anything. just ideas as to what i can do.
... just ideas as to what i NEED to do. 5's for anyone who bothered reading with a sensible response. xx
I know what it feels like to be scared to go to school. With everything going on and people going to their own classes and not really seeing the people around them, yes it can be scary.
To make school less scary the best thing to do is to work on communicating with people in the same classes as you. Try getting over the shyness, it'll be hard the first few times but once you make at least one friend you'll get to meet their friends and won't be as hard.
*remember worrying about what you look like isn't the most improtant thing, meeting people that don't care about that will help.
-hope everything works out--if you need any further advice just ask-
