I'm in the ninth grade with the stress and anxiety levels way beyond what my age permits. School makes me crazy. Especially with midterms and finals and what not, I hardly sleep. I'm getting four hours miximum, and wake up randomly to find myself forgetting a random fact, and studying some more. My family isn't putting a lot of pressure on me, or anything, but I just freak out and have high expectations of myself. I study way way too much and at weird times. Is there anything that would help me to relax just a little, and clear my head before tests? I know a little anxiety is normal, but what I feel is probably far from it.
you are my twin i swear; except i'm 3 years older and i averaged 2 hours of sleep. this amount of stress can LITERALLY kill you..trust me, i suffered numerous medical conditions from it. please please PLEASE go to a doctor, like a psychologist or something. they should have phamplets about stress and anxiety you can take a look at.
my mom works in the department of education in the mayo clinic of rochester, MN..she prepares and edits all kinds of books like that for teens. in fact, just two nights ago i edited one they're working on right now. you may think they'll be stupid and wont help you but if you go into it with an open mind, the writers really do know what they're talking about and you can turn your life around in a snap! i'm at school right now though so i can't say much more. any more questions or just want to talk, message me!
