I'm only 14 and I have really bad anxiety particularily about my health. I always feel like there is something wrong and I have gone to the doctor for various "problems" that I don't end up having. It's really frustrating because when Im not feeling anxious I'm able to reflect and realize how irrational the ideas are but in the moment I'm so scared that I can't do anything. I haven't been able to go to full days of school in weeks and I have been coming at lunch about every single day. I'm on medicine and starting therapy in about a week but the medicine hasn't built up enough yet to completely stop the anxiety. There is no other kids I know at school with the problem so I don't feel like I can talk to any of my friends about it so I'm really on my own for the time being. Any ideas of how to help?
