how do I tell my mom I want to go to a psychologist? I want to know if what I feel is in fact anxiety, I’ve seen all videos and search for all the symptoms and stuff and last night I saw one that made me think I should go check this. I had one attack one time, at school, last year. I still don’t know what caused that. I have these trembling hands (these are what make me more scared) and when I realise i’m thinking too much I see how my breath is hard and heavy. And then there’s the heartache, that makes me want to scream. I’ve been always “control” it by breathing deep, but last night I couldn’t sleep til I tried something I saw in the video that made me think about finally go to a doctor. The woman said that breathing with your hands in your face, like a conch, can help to calm down. And it did.
I don’t want to sound like those people that diagnosed themselves with anxiety because they get excited to a party or nervous for exams. But I truly feel this isn’t the case.
