So I'm only 13 year old girl and I'm not sure what's wrong with me! At first I used to think I was suffering with depression as I would inflict harm upon myself and I always thought I deserved the pain, from what I saw I was showing nearly all the symptoms of depression! But I latley read an article about anxiety, and I looked into it a bit more, it says it can include panic attacks. For a while now I have been having sleepless nights where I would stay up until I fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, as I would try and go to sleep I would get these rushing thoughts about death and fear of ceasing to exist. I know it sounds stupid but it's true!!! I would start having a panic attack, crying, shaking, I would excessively sweat. Now I feel like I'm avoiding the fact of going to sleep and I try to stay awake because I'm scared about having another panic attack, and feelings of anxiety... It offen happens when I am alone, all I do is think about it... Now I am always desperate to have someone with me so I don't have to sit and think about it alone!!! Also it said that when suffering with it you can do things without noticing, when I started to get these feelings I was 11 and had just been diagnosed with a mild case of motics. They said it would stop as I grew older but all it seemed to be doing was getting worse and now I'm starting to wondering if that could be a symptom of my Aniexty... I was wondering if anybody can relate to this x
