WE ALL LOVE YOU AT ELMWOOD!

2. This is how I'm trying to overcome anxiety.
I still have good and bad days however I have at least 1 bad day a week or maybe even 2. The other 5 or 6 days are great. Its always fine to have bad days, because if you always have good days you're going to go home and flip out or trash the place. This is what I do sometimes.
I am not completely done with my anxiety just yet. I am still actually fighting my anxiety conditions.
My name is Aaron and if you have any questions please ask any member of staff to fetch me (not in lesson time, unless urgent).
This is me: I am a fellow sufferer.

3. My personal suggestions.
Ask your parents or carer for support and advice.
Try counting sheep or something similar.
If you have a mountain bike try ask if you can go ride to let your energy out or do similar exercises.

4. Definition of ANXIETY.
Anxiety is a feeling of fear or panic. Feeling scared is sometimes normal but when it goes out of control you need to talk to someone as soon as possible.
Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress. It’s a feeling of fear or apprehension about what’s to come. The first day of school, going to a fun fair, or giving a speech may cause most people to feel fearful and nervous.
But if your feelings of anxiety are extreme, last for longer than six months and are interfering with your life, you may have an anxiety disorder.
