I have been having these weird symptoms for a LONG time now, like 5 or 6 months:
dizziness, extreme fatigue, headaches, shaking hands, numbness, and weird stuff like that.
anyways, the doctors thought it might be anxiety but i was quick to disagree because i wasn't feeling anxious.
Well lately i have been like obsessing over small stuff and my heart has been having irregular beats.
I was reading the symptoms of anxiety online and i'm pretty sure that could describe the reason for all of my symptoms.
I'm scared to tell my mom though. I don't know how to bring it up and i'm nervous about letting her down or something.
help! (link)

i have had anxiety since i was 4 or 5. mine was so bad that when it was time for bed, i would scream to my mom "your not going downstairs right?" and she would have to stay upstairs!!! i would throw a fight every day on the like minute drive to school and i wouldnt go to birthday parties or sleepovers. i out grew everything except the sleepovers. that im just getting over now. but im on medicine now and it helps but i have the same symptyoms once in a while...anxiety is all in your head, when those symptyoms come on, you can get yourself out of it. you just need to distract yourself, when you get the symptoms try listening to music or deep breathing anything to get your mind off the weird stuff happening. as for telling your mom, there is absoutly nothing to be scared about. its not life threatning. to bring it up be on the computer, pull up the website you had found and be like heyy mom come here and let her read the screen and be like, thats most of the symptoms! she may want you to try counsiling, its not bad at all! i enjoyed it when i went, i mean its an hour talking about you pretty much talking about anything you wwant. dont just say no off the bat, try it a few times dont tell your friends if your embarassed, i told mine and now i joke about it. i just say oh im leaving early today, im going to see my shrink, and just laugh about it haha. but if you dont go to councling, be careful about depression, anxirty and depression run hand in hand and 2 winters ago i had a bit of depression and we never found out why. i felt weird like i didnt want to do anything, i was just mopin around and the last straw was then there was like a little person in my head making me think about killing myself, like not go do it now or stuff like that, it just made me think about it..... it was so weirdddd. well i knew that wasnt the normal me and i got scared so i told my mom and i went to the shrink again (at the time, i had stopped taking my medicine for aboout a year because i felt i didnt need it) but my point is, be aware of depression and if anything like that happens to you, just find the courage to tell someone like i did..it was one of the hardest things i had to do but i did and was better in a few weeks.
