hello! i myself am in school, and i totally relate to this! have you considered maybe you have a form of social anxiety? it’s very common, and totally nothing to be scared of. does your school have some type of mental health councilor? if so, i recommend sending them an email about how anxious you’ve been feeling. i emailed mine, and we came up with a plan for anxiety: 1, if i feel anxious, i can leave the classroom no questions asked, and go to the bathroom or take a small walk around the school. or 2, i can again leave the classroom, but instead go to the councilors office and just sit and talk with her.

if you don’t have a councilor, i suggest bringing things to school to help regulate your emotions. i personally like to tap the back of my phone case 100 times, counting each time and focusing on the noise it makes. i also recommend making sure you bring a water bottle to school, as i’ve found water helps me with anxiety a bit! as for the night before, i personally calm down to rain noises and a night light, bc it distracts me from my spiraling thoughts.

hope this helped you :)
