Hello everyone! Recently I have decided to join the swim team at my high school, which is a huge commitment! I know that I am a very skilled swimmer and I have confidence in myself that I will do good, but it's so much work! I'm not afraid of work because I take AP and Honors classes, but I am a lit...

I used to have panic attacks at night all the time. I don't know what it is but at night, EVERYTHING seems so much worse than it actually is. Just remember that.

Hi Eniee, I do not have an eating disorder myself but I had a friend once that did. She felt the same way that you did, and did not like to eat in front of other people. She finally stopped eating at school, and only ate in her house. We convinced her that she had to get over this, and she did! She ...

I did something that I gave been struggling with a couple of months a few days ago. Since I am in high school, my friend and I joined the track team. I was excited at first, but then a few days into the season I started having panic attacks at practice. :cry: I would fear passing out since the pract...

I know you posted this a very long time ago, but just remember, NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS ARE, EVERYTHING WILL ALWAYS PASS. Try to have a serious talk with her and explain to her how you are feeling. You may want to go to therapist or a counselor. I hope everything is better since then but I also hop...

CONGRATULATIONS!! You should be extremely proud of yourself for achieving this! Whenever you're having a bad time, just remember what you have accomplished!
