Anxiety attacks
16 year old female
Since grade 8 I've stressed about school work like any normal kid, but as I progressed through high school I found myself having anxiety attacks about not only school but my future and money. It then became more than stressing and I started to get depressed about my life and where I would end up. After seeing a therapist and counsellor I started taking anti-depressants and various other medications. My family knows about my anxiety, and we're dealing with it together. Today I'm in grade 11, and i know what to expect when i start to stress, and I'm feeling more confident. I would like to think I'm slowly improving, and hope to soon call Kids Helpline to talk to someone apart from my family.
