I've had an anxiety disorder since birth.

The only thing I know that will /always/ work is getting out of a situation that makes me feel uncomfortable.

Breathing sometimes helps a lot but it really just depends on the situation.

I think I used to have a mild case of it.. where i'd feel anxious and shaky, but i dunno.. im in 8th grade now and it just went away. it happened to me during like 6th to 7th grade but i guess it was just a phase. but i think my friend has the disorder.. my god you can NOT get her to talk infront of the class. she even got a zero on this project we had just cause she didnt even wanna talk infront of everybody, when during mine, i talked and sung some part of a song. but w/e i hope she can get over it. she does cheerleading but isnt shy when shes in a large group, just by herself its really bad for her. obv. your not alone girl. hope it gets better (:

I've had this diagnosed since 7th grade (I'm in 10th now). & yes it's really hard to find people who share it. but you're not unusual.

when I have an anxiety attack, or feel like I may have one due to a certain situation, I just breathe. simply breathe. I try to get my mind on another subject by like, walking around or talking to someone. this sounds weird but when my dog is around it helps to pet her. so if you have a dog or cat, you could use them as comfort.

If you get symptoms in public, like speaking in front of a group, focus on one thing & get through with it. your heart probably pounds & you shake, but just get through whatever the situation is & worry about the rest later. it will save you from looking awkward in front of groups/classmates, which I know is something I really fear.
