about

I'm a one of a kind kinda woman, that much is true. My life experiences are amazing; my lessons have been many and many more to come! I've lived about 28 lives, and have acclimated to each one of them; so I'm a bit of a gypsy; able to be one of the locals whenever I land somewhere. I've had alot of pain in my life and alot of lessons have been learned; that's why I'd be a VERY GOOD PERSON TO LISTEN TO: I know........alot. I hate it when people suffer; I'll listen to anything and everything you have to say and you may ask me anything you'd like. Rhona xxxx

Hi Im in between 10-14 (I dont wanna say my real age) and female. Im highly sure that I have a Generalized Anxiety Disorder but Im afraid to and dont know how to tell my Mom and I cant tell my Dad or Step-Mom cause they dont even believe that I have asthma (and I do) But everytime I say like I dont feel good or my asthma is getting a little worse (which it kinda is) then she just rolls her eyes like Im being a hypercondriac (same with my Dad) and Im not old enough to go to the doctors by myself and I dont even want to go to the Doctors cause Ive been there lots of times for other non mental issues. How do I handel this before school starts again?!

Hi Sweetie,
I have GAD, too, and it's just what it is: a problem you're having that's preventing you from living your life with the freedom a 10-14 year old should have.

You need to sit your parents down and tell them your symptoms; get your facts from the internet and print them out and TELL THEM/SHOW THEM that THIS is how you feel and as your parents, they need to address the situation and get you on some meds or therapy or SOMETHING before you end up being miserable all the time.

You can do it; your life depends on YOU standing up for YOU!
