GET SOME HELP
im taking this year and using it for a mental and physical health. i've started meeting with a counciler. today we worked on communication and anxiety. at times i get frustrated with him because he doesnt always get to the point..he takes random roads and exagerations to explain something simple. i usually get frustrated but excited near the end, not to mention i always learn something.
today i went on many times of the stress i have in social situations. i told him that my anxiety keeps me from having a normal conversation at school. i told him i am constantly distracted and worried that i cant pull it together long enough to listen or talk much (unless to my bestfriends). i also told him i get so worried sometimes that i forget what im doing. i chatted long with him about sinareos and things i think up when having axiety. and i told him many times how it affects my ability to intract in a social way. but dont go thinking im anti-social, i have conversations and can easily act natural. but my mind cannot live up to it.
as he started talking and making longer sentences of short answers. i seemed to be catching his meaning and picking out what i needed. i found that in about all his words..there was help and healing. and the good part was that i didnt have to admit it. the healing was in his soft voice and his readiness to help me, also in the words that i seemed to pick up and apply to my thoughts immediatly. i was stoked, and everything he said kept building me higher and releasing me from stress. if i was to fallow the tasks ..if i was to fallow, it would lead me to me again.
althought this journey wont be easy, and it will be hard. im willing to take the steps and set myself free. emotional effort and tons of time will be factors. the first step.. i found this on the internet..
Some people suffer from anxiety disorders and depression and have trouble fitting in with society as well as communicating well with others in social settings. There are ways to overcome all of these things to make you the person you always wanted to be. Of course, it will not be an effortless task, but it is doable by following these simple steps.
"The biggest thing that keeps people who are afraid of social settings, isolated and uncomfortable is conditioning. They have either experienced a traumatic experience in their lives that has forced them to shut down, or have had some sort of parental instability while growing up and have not received enough affection as they might have wanted. The way to get around this conditioning is first of all, to let go of what happened to you and not to blame anyone for what happened. People do the best they can in their lives and there is a reason why everything happens. People are of course, here in this life to learn how to grow and how to love. Life is an act of never ending perfection and we have to move on and stop putting people in situations when then are blamed or at fault for something. We have to let go of the hatred and move on, so how we do this is by just doing that, moving forwards."

I love that you're so open, I struggle with anxiety A LOT and I never talk about it.
