There've been a lot of deaths among the student body of my school in the past two years (five last year and three this year.) A few of them were friends of mine. Lately, I've been getting more and more paranoid. I text my friends and call them almost constantly; I'm scared to let them out of my sight. I'm convinced that at any moment someone else will disappear for good. I don't have the time or money to go in for real counseling, and the counselors at my school haven't taken me seriously since they found out about my anxiety-related seizures (long story) so what else can I do to stop being so worried?

I've had quite a bit of deaths in my life too. My dog died in March 2006. My grandpa just died of cancer. And my uncle that just moved in with us got shot in the neck while walking down the street in the Southside, Hes now paralized and is on a ventalator , which helps him breath. But now some of my family is talking about taking it off of him so he cant breath anymore , because hes telling us to shoot him again.
I am quite the person to talk about worrying to because i worry alot. I guess you could say i am kinda like you. When i start to worry , i think to myself " everything happens for a reason ". And that is what you should think about. I can almost assure you that there is no need to worry about someone else getting hurt, and if someone does then like i said there is a reason for it. There is really nothing you can do to prevent things from happening , its called life. You just have to let nature take its course. Worrying will just make things worse. I dont know if you believe in god , but if you do you should ask him to help you out. When your friends died , just know that you arent the only one that felt bad, think about their family. The couselors should take you serious though , because thats what they are there for. I guess theres not much i can help you with besides to say just try not to worry so much , if you worry theres a better chance of it happening beleive it or dont. hope i helped. sorry about your friends :[

I'm sorry about the deaths.
The counselors should take you seriously. Seizures are no little deal.
Tell your mom, see if she thinks you need to go to the doctor....
tell your friends that you love them and don't want anything to happen to them, and set up caution systems.
like if one friend starts to do something that could be dangerous, know what you'll do in advance- like telling somebody or stopping her.
I'm pretty sure your friends aren't stupid- they would never go into the car of somebody they don't know...
and tell your friends that if they're ever in a dangerous situation, tell them to can call or text somebody is possible.
just keep in touch with them, and maybe you could help stop potentially fatal situations from happening -- www.freewebs.com/hero2007
if that's the case, anyway.
there are lots of things! but they may not be as easy as they sound
- stay in touch. give them often but simple text messages like, "hey whats up?" so that you can be in peace without being really paranoid.
- believe. if you dont believe that everything is going to be okay, then it won't be. to be something, you have to want and believe in it. in this case, it would be to not be so worried. just think, everything is gonna be fine - i can stop worrying now.
- talk. talk with your diary. seriously. it will help you let out your feelings without making everyone else crazed. just let it all out & that way, you'll feel much better just talking it out with something. you know?
dont worry. nothing else will happen to you or your friends.
