anxiety
15/f
I have been having these weird symptoms for a LONG time now, like 5 or 6 months:
dizziness, extreme fatigue, headaches, shaking hands, numbness, and weird stuff like that.
anyways, the doctors thought it might be anxiety but i was quick to disagree because i wasn't feeling anxious.
Well lately i have been like obsessing over small stuff and my heart has been having irregular beats.
I was reading the symptoms of anxiety online and i'm pretty sure that could describe the reason for all of my symptoms.
I'm scared to tell my mom though. I don't know how to bring it up and i'm nervous about letting her down or something.
help!

Believe me I truly understand where your coming from!!! I suffer from such severe anxiety that I won't even get into it. I can tell you though that it is near impossible to do it alone. It seems like your symptoms are a signal of anxiety but yet it is difficult to say what anxiety disorder you would be classified with. Did you know that anxiety, ocd, and even eating disorders are types of anxiety? I'm turning 16 soon and I myself have been struggling for a VERY long time. It is alot easier to deal with and not fix but in a way relieve the anxiety and keep it that way. Tell your mom that you have been haxing these problems! Who knows you could end up discovering that part of your family has it as well! I did. If you guys don't have that great of a relationship write it down or give her an article about it. Something. How is she supposed to help when she has no idea. Always remember you did not choose anxiety it chose you. You do not ever need to feel bad or any less of a person. Good luck sweety and I'm here if you need me or just a shoulder to lean on.

i have had severe anxietyfor as long as i can remember. i confronted my parents about it cos i started going into panic attacks. you should tell your mom before it can get worse, it wont necesarily get worse, but there is always that risk. just sit her down and ask her, shes your mother. shell be happy that you told her rather than waiting until it escalated.

i have had anxiety since i was 4 or 5. mine was so bad that when it was time for bed, i would scream to my mom "your not going downstairs right?" and she would have to stay upstairs!!! i would throw a fight every day on the like minute drive to school and i wouldnt go to birthday parties or sleepovers. i out grew everything except the sleepovers. that im just getting over now. but im on medicine now and it helps but i have the same symptyoms once in a while...anxiety is all in your head, when those symptyoms come on, you can get yourself out of it. you just need to distract yourself, when you get the symptoms try listening to music or deep breathing anything to get your mind off the weird stuff happening. as for telling your mom, there is absoutly nothing to be scared about. its not life threatning. to bring it up be on the computer, pull up the website you had found and be like heyy mom come here and let her read the screen and be like, thats most of the symptoms! she may want you to try counsiling, its not bad at all! i enjoyed it when i went, i mean its an hour talking about you pretty much talking about anything you wwant. dont just say no off the bat, try it a few times dont tell your friends if your embarassed, i told mine and now i joke about it. i just say oh im leaving early today, im going to see my shrink, and just laugh about it haha. but if you dont go to councling, be careful about depression, anxirty and depression run hand in hand and 2 winters ago i had a bit of depression and we never found out why. i felt weird like i didnt want to do anything, i was just mopin around and the last straw was then there was like a little person in my head making me think about killing myself, like not go do it now or stuff like that, it just made me think about it..... it was so weirdddd. well i knew that wasnt the normal me and i got scared so i told my mom and i went to the shrink again (at the time, i had stopped taking my medicine for aboout a year because i felt i didnt need it) but my point is, be aware of depression and if anything like that happens to you, just find the courage to tell someone like i did..it was one of the hardest things i had to do but i did and was better in a few weeks.
