Cancer in brain or anxiety
Posted: 03-15-08 16:45pm

My name is Gabe, I am 12 years old. I have been recently not been thinking straight and having alot of anxiety attacks. I constantly lose my balance and feeling light headed. My eyes have a weird effect when i look at something (sometimes) and i have to stare at that something for a while. I always think i am dieing and have some "uncureable" disease. I am also noot living with my mother. I was living with my grandma but i recently moved to my fathers house (yesterday). I have to ask people whatthe said right after they said something. I dont think my hearing is wrong, i think my brain is. I am having a little anxiety attack as i am writing this. I dont know what to do. I also cant concentrate on my school work. I dont know what to do. Does any one have answers?

welcome to e health forum, what you are going through is similar to many people here on e health including myself, the best advice i could give you is to talk to someone about your anxiety fears and not to keep them to yourself. also seeing your doctor and talking to him/her about your anxiety could also be a good idea. try keeping your mind off your anxiety fears, by doing things you enjoy like , watching a movie, going for a walk stay relax and just remember your not alone.

i hope this helps you, i could also suggest to read other posters threads who may be going through something similar to you.

Gabe,

I started having anxiety attacks when I was your age. The good news is: there is help available and things you can do. I'd start off by seeing if your parents have insurance coverage for you to see a therapist. However, it's a good idea to see your family doctor first to make sure it's nothing physical, just to be on the safe side and give yourself peace of mind.

It gets better, my friend!

Take care,

S.

Welcome home! We are always here to try to help you or at least try! Can you not go to a school counselor and talk to them? They can find you the help you are looking for even if its a financial circumstance/insurance reasons. There are also mental health facilities (great doctors) who understand what you are going through. Being from a broken home at age 5, I totally understand you are goinghtrough a greeat deal, and being 12 going through puberty is not a day at hte beach either! You are too young to be worrying about things that really do not matter. Gabe, please find someone you can trust to talk to and tell them you need some help getting through this. Its not something you can do alone.....I remember when I was 12...thats the year I first started going to therapist! You can always PM me if you'd like! I'm a Mom too..........and a really cool Aunt so I'm told! Just wnat you to know someone cares and will be here if you need us!

I too am from a broken home and have always felt the same way as you. I have to ask people ot repeat what they said very ofter and have to stare at things to focus. Like fairy*godmother said, find someone you can trust and talk to about everything. Many of us here are always willing to listen if you ever need to talk. You can always pm me too, if you woul dlike. I am a great listener and may have experienced many of the things you are going through (I have been through alot).
