My name's Megan :) I'm 16 years old and live in Kansas...not on a farm though. I'm a junior in high school. I'm a varsity cheerleader and have cheered at my school since my freshman year. I did competitive cheer ages 12-15. I'm a freshmen mentor at school as well as in a peer education group for positive body image called REbeL. I'm also involved in National Spanish Honors Society. When I was 10 I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and still take meds to control it. I'm really mature for my age but also love to have fun! I LOVE country music, my friends, meeting new people, and driving around in my mazda 3. Feel free to ask me anything :)
advice
(you answered my question about anxiety.) You're 13 and you were put on xanax? What disorder(s) was that for? If you don't mind saying. Thanks!
yep i've taken it since i was 11 years old. it was for anxiety attacks and panic disorder. ♥ megan
what exactly happens when you get an anxiety attack?
alright. i'm not gonna go to some website and tell you what they say because those things don't always happen. whenever i have a panic attack, i feel like i'm not really there. my voice seems really loud to me and like im going to fall or like my head is going back and forth. my head starts to hurt and my whole body starts to tingle, especially my hands. my heart starts racing and it makes my ears ring to hear anyone talk. everything suddenly seems so much louder. i also feel like im floating and that things such as stepping, are a lot softer and lighter. i can also start to sweat or figgit because im so nervous. it's one of the worst feelings ever! ♥ megan
is there a such thing as Post Menstrual Syndrome haha instead of Pre Menstrual cuz im always like tired and kinda cranky the week after.
yes. ♥ megan
Is there any such thing as like a social disorder? what i mean by that is, sometimes at school or when im hanging out with friends, in a way i dont feel motivated to interact. its hard to explain. in my head i have all these things to say but something inside makes me just be quiet. its really starting to bother me and affect my life, any info/advice would be awesome!
yes, there's social anxiety disorder. theres medication that you can take for it, such as zoloft. you can go to a therapist and talk to them about it and they can figure out if thats what it is and then prescribe you some medication. ♥ megan
I have horrible anxiety in many areas and im sure i have an anxiety disorder. i'll end up talking to a dr about this, but i was wondering; what medications can the prescribe someone under 18 for anxiety disorders? Like, i'm thinking valium and lots of drugs like that are for 18 and over. Anyone know what they prescribe to teens? (i'll be 17 next month)
i'll tell yah, i have very severe anxiety disorder and have tried lots of different medication. i DEFFINATLY say that paxil and xanax work very very well. hope this helped! ♥ megan
ok, this might seem like a weird question. But I just told my mum about this problem i'm having and she got really worried and told me i have to stop at once. it got me a bit freaked that i might have some mental problem or something, my mum just said so...
So, here's the problem: Every single thing i read and every single word i look at i have to read backwards. My mind just tells me to read it backwards and i can't stop. No matter how hard i try i can't stop myself. I know, I know, this is probably really stupid, but just thought id ask.
thanks
something like this can be some sort of dyslexia. even though you can spell and stuff, this may still me just one symthom of it. ♥ megan
i seriously need help. like i need someone to talk about stuff with. should i go to one of those counselors that you can tell all your problems in confidence with or is that not worth it?
i say that going to a counseler or therapist is worth it, if you can find the right one for you. i have severe anxiety disorder [panic attacks] and i go to a therapist for that. it took me about 5 different trys for the right therapist but now that i have one that i feel comfortable talking to and that really gets me, it helps alot. i say, when you find the right one, it will deffinatly be worth it! ♥ megan
