Im havin some problems right now with my anxiety. My mom and I just drove 5 miles out to Ithaca NY to drop me off at a wrestling camp for a few days. I'm trying to sleep because it's 11:19 here but I just can't because I'm asking all these "what if" questions. What if I don't wake up in time? What if I stuck roomed with a jerk? Where am I going to sit to eat? And all these questions. It's hard to sleep but it's hard because I think of all these questions and the anxiety also makes my head and stomach hurt and my heart race. Another thing I struggle with is getting to know people. Being on the forums helps get my mind off of things but I also need to sleep

Once they happen you will feel better, or worse.

But to feel better now maybe you can occupy yourself with something else, it'll take your mind off of things that bother you.

I like to listen to music to help take my mind off things. It takes me awhile to fall asleep at night because I'm always thinking about my life like what I want to do, am I sure about this, what's going to happen tomorrow, how did I mess up today. A lot of things usually relate back to my failures and how can I prevent that from happening again

I get anxiety very often and my heart starts to race. If you exxagerate your exhales, making them long, it slows it down. Also, if you pinch the area between your nose and upper lip for 15 seconds it slows it down as well.

Looking back I think I've also had anxiety. When I was a little kid i was convinced my house was going to be robbed so I became wicked paranoid and scared of the dark but I'm totally over that fear. I think most of my anxiety has to do with socially interacting with others. What if I mess up, say something wrong. What if something embarrassing happens or what if I stutter. I know that some of you will say "I don't believe in a metal problem because you just have to tell yourself theres nothing wrong with you" while for me I just can't stop it. Whenever I think about something my mind immediately jumps to the what ifs

Anxiety like this is very normal. I get in moods like this almost every day even when it comes to my very most trusted friends.

Just calm down, take it easy, and trust in a brighter future~ ~ ~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ tilde key

"I don't believe in a metal problem"

There's allot of problems in the world, quite a few are actually pretty metal.

The only thing that I could suggest that works for me is: sleep, sorry you're stuck in this circle OP. :c

beat up the other wrestlers with metal chairs and ladders before you realize this is in fact not a WWE camp and you are trying to practice legitimate wrestling
