Question by Kiawia: Hi. I’m currently suffering from social anxiety and I’m having a pretty hard time at home. Can u help me?
I have had this since April 2009 and it is getting better but I still have bad weeks and bad panic attacks. Today I’m feeling crap and my parents don’t believe me and this morning my mom said “I wish I had a normal child”, and that has made me feel worthless so I have gone into this depressive state of mind and I’m lost. Can anybody help me?

Your mom needs to realize that half of the “normal” children out there are on medication for ADD, depression and anxiety. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and in many cases it is inherited from your parents!
Speak to a counselor or nurse at school. They can do a preliminary evaluation, and then speak to your mother on your behalf to get you the help that you need.
On the other hand, you may be going through a phase which will pass with time. Panic attacks can often be stopped by doing deep breathing exercises, and putting your head down between your knees for a minute or two.
In my opinion, speak to a trusted teacher, school counselor, or the parent of a friend that you respect and like.
Love & Blessings
