Anxiety

Hi Holly and welcome. I am so sorry to hear of your troubles, and even more sorry to learn that your parents are not more supportive about it:(

I have a couple of suggestions. One is to find another trusted adult that you could talk to about your problems. Perhaps your school nurse or couselor. An aunt, your grandmother, of a good friend's mom. Someone at church, or a neighbor? Just talking to someone who understands would probably alleviate a lot of your worries.

My other suggestion would be on-line therapy. It can help you work out your feelings through easy, go at your own pace exercises. We have two links on our main page under the 3rd post titled Anxiety Resources. The sites are called Moodgym and Ecouch, and can be effective in treating depression and anxiety.

I hope that this gives you someplace to start, you can also keep posting here with us regarding anxiety issues.

Hoping you get the help you sre seeking:)

Hi Hollyriver,

It is so hard to start your period so early. But it should only come once a month and write down when it happens on the calendar so that you kind of know when to expect it. That makes it much easer to deal with. Be prepared. Always have sanitary napkins around or tampons. Carry one in your purse incase it happens at a bad time. You are growing up now and will probably have other issues that you need help with. I am glad that you went into chat and talked to somebody nice.

Take care.

Hugs, Karen

H. R. I would like to recommend a book for you to order it is titled 'The Period Book -everthing you don't want to ask' www.amazon.com

This is really more of a place to discuss anxiety issues, but this could help you with the more specific questions regarding your monthly troubles:)

Good luck, and feel well,
Scaredy Cat
