What Im anxious about with school staring:
-what people think about me
- I was really excited and talking about how goal-protected I was going to be during the summer time but now Im scared to go back and people ask me about what I did because I dont feel accomplished
- Im scared of NOT wanting to be alone; I dont want to associate with friendships that are only temporary, I want real friends and now where Im at, I cant have it, so Im just trying to be less interested in making friends, and Im really not- but Im scared seeing others have someone who cares about them will make me want that. I havent cried in a while until last night, seeing videos about peoples friendships.
I feel like no one cares about me lately, especially these last few months since no one really reaches out to me, except one person but I feel like they just do more ranting and they dont really care about me either, theyve expressed that they miss someone else even though Im right there and talked about how theyre fine though because they have someone one else (who isnt me, even though they said that theyre still the only person who talks to me often and they wont be going to school with me anymore, now Im left with 3 people that I doubt consider me close, one of them used to be my best friend, now I dont know what we are and I cant ask her, the other 2 are close to the 2 people I ended a friendship with and its painful to have to see them again.
- speech class: I have good speaking skills thank God, but Im terrified to speak, I always end up shaking and Im trying to brush it off and be natural.
- Changing myself because of the influence of others: I had such a bad habit with changing how I am based off of how others think of me, and Im trying not to do it again
- becoming burnt out, I got burnt out almost twice through this year (yeah I miraculously recovered quickly thank God)
- Authority-pleasing: last year, I almost failed my math class because of how obsessed I was over my teachers thoughts about me and his other students, he was blatantly showing his favoritism and it was heart-wrenching.
- being socially awkward
My worst fear right now is reliving past trauma. I still feel really traumatized and haunted whenever I see people who were in certain situations of the past at a time where I was mentally unwell, Im still growing. But sadly, I have to see many people coming back to school after years of not seeing them, and Im horrified of the idea of them bringing up things that happened in the past or stirring things up just for the sake of reminiscing.

General anxieties about school: The crowds people in hallways, having to do icebreakers while everyone starts at you because its the respectful thing to do when someone is taking, the crowds of people in the cafeteria, the fact that if I dont sit in the back of the room everyone behind me could be staring at me and judging me without my knowledge, having to present projects to the class, if J show up late I draw attention to myself, people in general, I know I eat like a slob too so more anxiety about people judging me in the cafeteria.
And specifically to last year and the one Im about to go into theres a boy well call C in my school who threatened to SA one of my friends (He already SAed two other students before this and openly admits to one of them) but the school just told my friend to say away from him and they had a teacher walk around with him most of the time. But they refuse to actually do anything because C is autistic and doesnt know he did anything wrong regardless of weather he knows of not he still did it and he should be expelled, but here we are. And hes not even the only one, there are two more kids that have SAed one or more students who also go without consequences. My school administration sucks.
Edit: Also I go back in 6 days (August 30th) and it is currently 2: 34am and I pulled an all nighter last night (and stayed up all day obviously. So fix your sleep schedule weeks in advance is or going to happen its a little late, I have less then a week left.

What im stressed about since the comment section is somehow still sorta active:
- Not having any friends in most of my classes
- When one of the friends that I do have classes with goes with someone else for a group project and im left alone and sad
- Finding classes on time
- Making friends
- Learning how to open a locker again
- Getting lost and getting to class late but the door is locked so you have to knock
- going to the right classes at the wrong times
- accidently crying and not being able to make it stop
- Gym
- Swimming in gym
- Changing in gym
- Presentations
- Those teachers who think that the kids love them and try to act cool
The only two classes on my schedule that I dont hate already are Art and Lunch because the art teacher is very chill and nice and my whole grade has lunch together so I can see my friends.

What makes me nervous
Crowds, loud people, teachers, missing home, stress, mean learning assistants, mean friends, to much information given at one time, waking up early for school, going to sleep early for school, assemblys, exams, getting rudely talked about behind my back because Im autistic, depressiontheres more I can say
School is a horrible place: kids go to school and never leave, kids go to school and dont walk out the same, kids go to school and come out with tears, kids come out of school and bottle everything up until its too late!
I cant wait to leave my school, its the most horrible place on earth. I only have one friend that I really like. The rest are all fake.

im so nervous, it's been so long since we didn't have physical class since it's pandemic. now school is back physically, means you need to go to school meeting people. i moved to a different school, basically i don't know anyone. i don't want to meet new people because im not friendly and i have social anxiety. people makes me nervous especially the teachers. i feel so uncomfortable because i don't want to step out of my comfort zone (which our home, it's so weird not having to see my parents and my pets for like several hours. every time i got home i cry because i don't want to go to school i just want to stay at home, but i know i need to, it's for my own good.

Things that make me anxious at school:
1. I go to boarding school, so I don't have my family, my pets or friends from home. Not even my phone.
2. Bullies
3. Being asked to get into pairs or groups and no-one wants to be with me.
4. The few friends that I have are not good friends but if I leave them, I'll have no one else.
5. I have an music audition or music exam every term which means I never get a break to relax. It's very stressful.
6. The food is shit so I'll either have to starve or just deal with it, cause all my meals are at school.
7. Mostly I'm just homesick for my family, friends, routine, and freedom

nice
the methods are:
create and anti anxiety kit- put anything that might help your anxiety, e. g. lavender essential oils, almonds, and other anxiety relieving things
familiarize yourself with the environment- review your schedule, visit your school, attend orientations, etc
fix your sleep schedule- pretty self explanatory
buy a planner, diary and gratitude journal- a planner for dates, a diary for feelings. before you go to bed, write what is bothering you, and then end on a positive note in the gratitude journal
make time for yourself on weekends- follow up hobbies, etc. make a list of goals for recreational activities

I always panic when i realize that the next day is back to school, because im actually a kinda good student but im worried that the teachers will be disappointed in me when im not doing great. And i always have a feeling when i walk in the hallway that everyone is staring at me, it makes me uncomfortable, thinking they say/think im a nerd or that they are annoyed at me When i do something wrong or i dont pay attention for one second and the teacher tells me to repeat what they said and i dont know it, everyone is like: ''how do you not know that''

Honestly I'm always scared of going to school. Everything is just so new, the surroundings the people, its scary I'm used to my routine but right now everything has changed, all new I keep on convincing myself its not good to stay in my bubble and in time I have to go out but I like being just here I'm scared of the outside world of people.
I try to reach out but no one seems to notice me, or I don't know someone does but not really interested.

I've already started school but I'm just feeling scared for no reason cuz the weekend is ending and I gotta go to school. I just moved to a new school and have only spent 3 days in it. I'm just scared of teacher choosing me to answer smth, sitting in break with no friends it just scares me. Thinking about that I gotta go through 3 terms to end this. It just scares me. Sometimes I feel like I'll go insane from this studying.

Hi! I have synesthesia, I assume most of you probably dont, but basically I see smells as colors, hear colors, and see sounds as colors. It gets really overwhelming sometimes, so my also have sensory issues isnt great. There are certain smells that I already like AND they looks pretty (like patchouli and citrus) so that always helps with my anxiety, which I think its cool.

Watching this the night of a new school. I have to ride a bus and am afraid of being late for it. If I miss the bus I cant get to school any way possible (its an hour away. Also, the orientation got skipped because it was canceled by bad weather, so Im going in completely blind. This did help relieve some stress, so thank you again Psych2Go!

I just cried yesterday because it's almost my first day of school. Literally when I wake up my tummy hurts and I ran all the way to the bathroom. It's a brand new school plus I have acne so I'm really insecure and I'm not the one who starts conversations.
