i think that i might have a little bit of anxiety. i'm almost certain that if i just went to go see a phsycologist, he or she could just tell me whether or not i do and/or if i can take something for it. the problem is that my mom won't take me. she says that it's normal to experience anxiety when you're PMSing. But, i'm not always PMSing. i think i even know why i have anxiety. iv'e tried explaining it to her, but i'm sure if she heard it from the phsycologist, she might stop doing what is making me feel like this. how can i convince her? cuz she needs to hear it from someone else i think

Nadia answered Monday August 7 2006, 2:17 am: yeah people would notice if you had anxiety. um, there are different types of it though...if you want your mum to listen try talking to someone like a school counesllor etc. you didnt state your age or where you're from but depending on that you can take yourself. when i was suffering deep depression and didnt want my folks to find out i nearly took myself to my gp coz i was gonna kill myself...i didnt end up needing to do that though, so i can't really tell u what would happen if you did.
but anyways, try talking to a trusted adult about it, and they could take you or help convince your mum etc. [ Nadia's advice column | Ask Nadia A Question ]

Your mother is basically right, a certain amount of anxiety, especially during the teen years, is perfectly normal. Being stressed, in response to stressful things, is actually completely healthy. Medication is rather extreme and so is seeing a physiologist; a counselor or a therapist can give you great tips on how to manage your feelings with simple exercises and they would be able to refer you, if your situation is serious enough, to a doctor who would be able to prescribe medications.

bigboy13 answered Sunday August 6 2006, 1:06 am: i dont think you have anxiety. if you did people would prabably notice.
what makes you think you have anixety?
if you have anixety you would be afraid to go outside and you would be nervous in public places like stores and you would experince paranoria and deep breathing.
but if you are convinced that you have it then i reccommened seeing a school consiler, they could probably help you
