Anxiety has ruined my life

[Joanna-x]

I feel like ever since last year, my anxiety has taken the best of me. I refuse to go out the house anymore unless my mum makes me go to school, but i get fustrated because i can't talk to many people without sweating,blushing and shaking. These are my physical signs but i basically feel useless and fed up with things now. My doctor recently diagnosed me with depression but can't give me any medication because i'm 14. I don't trust anybody and feel tearful all the time, I'm falling apart and need some help |:[/i]

Thank you for your reply,
I am trying to get help at the moment and my mum is trying to help as much as she can, my doctor is trying to help by arranging a place called 'camh's for me to see someone, however, i havent heard from these people yet. I just feel like i need support as i'm not getting much from many of my friends and many of them have left me to deal with my anxiety/depression by myself. Much appreciated your reply, thank you.

Hi there Joanna! ~waves~ I hope you get the help you need soon!

Just try to do what you can. Go easy on yourself! I used to be just like that!

I still don't talk to people much, even now, especially where I live. My hands will go terribly cold!

Don't worry about what your "friends" do. For now, concentrate on you & all that other stuff can be ironed out later.

Welcome to the forum & I hope you find it helpful to you!
