Hey there,
There’s no doubt about it, being a teenager can be difficult and stressful.
You might be surprised at how many other teens suffer from anxiety, depression or both. You are not alone and your not a hopeless case. Even though it can feel like anxiety will never lift, it eventually will—and with proper treatment and healthy choices, that day can come even sooner. In the meantime, you might need therapy or medication to help you while you sort out your feelings. Look into your treatment options with your parents. If medication is being considered, do your research before making a decision, as some antidepressants used for adults can actually make teens feel worse.
"Parents just don’t understand." Understatement of the year, huh? It may seem like there’s no way your parents will be able to help, especially if they are always nagging you or getting angry about your behavior. The truth is, parents hate to see their kids hurting. They may feel frustrated because they don’t understand what is going on with you or know how to help.
Letting your parents know that you are feeling anxious, sad and dizzy will probably motivate them to get you the help you need. Give them a chance to respond to you.
I hope you feel better soon.
Kindly,
Kitt
