I am not ok

teekay1 September 11th, 2019

All I have been seeing at school this week is 'R U Ok' and I am not ok, yet at the same time Im still ok. I feel I am not ok because my anxiety worsens overtime especially as it really affects my school, family and social life and bc I havent sought help or the comfort of any family and friends. I also feel ok because as sad as it sounds, this isolated, anxious, emotionally x mentally worn out mentality of mine has become engraved in me that I have begun to think its just my personality. This poor mentality of mine I have had for a long time that it is as if it is who I am and therefore "I am ok" because Im used to myself like this.

Hey there, @teekay1

Thank you for sharing what's on your mind here with us! It's not always easy to open up like this but we are proud of you for being brave!

I hear that you feel that that you are not okay because your anxiety has really been affecting many areas of your life. You mentionned that you haven't sought help or comfort from any family or friends. I'm wondering, is there is a reason why not? Is this something you do/don't feel comfortable doing?

I understand that you feel that this might have become part of your personality. I'm wondering, how do you feel about this? Is this something you struggle with or something that you have just accepted?

Here are some resources that you might find helpful for dealing with Anxiety:

We hope you will find the support you deserve! heart

im not a therapist and I'm not quite sure how this works, but, if something bad happens, I'm here for you, and I love you(even though I've never met you) I how you feel and you are not alone. This happens to a lot of other people, and a lot probably go to your school. (This is not saying you don't deserve help or anything) because it is hard. I know
