Anxiety from the thought of school
I've always liked certain aspects of school, but sometimes it can get really overwhelming. Usually when something goes wrong like I forget my homework or get to class late, I start to panic and can't really calm myself down. This generally makes my arms/legs shake, my eyes tear up and cry, I can't breathe that well from crying, and I have trouble calming down until the "problem" is resolved. I also don't really like the change that comes with school, whether it be going to a new school or just trying to find my locker and new classes. It's hard because I know that not many people feel scared about going to school or having to complete homework on time for fear of getting in trouble, but I can't stop myself from feeling like I'll be a dissappointment or whatever if I don't make it seem like I'm perfect and can handle school just fine. I just want to know if anyone else experiences this and if you have any tips for calming down/feeling less anxious about school.

You are definitely not alone. I think if you were to visit the student subcommunity, you might find a lot of students there who relate with you. It is quite normal to have a fear of failure and for this fear to manifest in anxiety over perfectionism and how the school days will go. You are in the right place to find people who have similar struggles.
