After I dropped out, I wasnt just gonna sit around so instead I bought a treadmill and started losing my weight. Since last year ive lost 30 pounds and look smaller and feel better about myself to where im not so self conscience anymore. I still get nervous sometimes being in public places and going to my relatives knowing that I might have to socialize or conversate. I have a hard time talking to strangers and I can never talk to them. My mind goes blank and I cannot speak!
Ever since I dropped out of school last year, I can see the world alot more clear. I noticied that there is WAY too many things to do in life than just go to school. I know that im smart and i'm not dumb. I can read, write, and spell perfectly. Its just that im not good in academics! I have never passed a test in school, the only tests ive ever passed were spelling tests LOL! I have never done good in math or anything!
I contacted this counselor here at this vocational school that has GED classes VIA e-mail. I e-mailed her last month 2 weeks before school started and asked her about GED classes. She told me that my city doesnt have classes for people under 20, but instead have a high school completion program where you attend the vocational school and earn credits to earn your high school diploma. I really dont wanna do this! I just wanna take GED courses for maybe 6 months and then go on to take my GED test. Then she emailed me back and told me that she found a GED program and would need my parents signature to go GED. She then told me she would send me details on this program the next day. After the next day, she never emailed me so I sent her a email asking her if shes "heard anything" and she didnt respond, I sent another one a few days later and she didnt respond. Is she busy with students schedules? She controls everything from the trades, to the students schedules for the HSC program also. Should I try emailing her tommorow? I havent emailed her in probably a month almost.
I fear that even with a GED that I wont get a job because of my anxiety. I see kids my age and get so jealous because they have jobs! I seen some kids that I knew back in 1st grade and now they're all 15-16-17 years old and have jobs at a grocery store! It pisses me off because I cant do a simple thing socially! I have no friends and ive been a loner for the past 6 years! I used to have friends along time ago before I messed up in school.
Well, i'm done babbling, sorry for typing so damn much. I just had to vent I guess on some issues. Please people dont leave no rude ass answers or answers disrespecting me!
PS- I posted a question familiar to this one the other day. My mom ended up getting on my computer and she found the question I posted. She didnt say nothing to me though but I knew she read it because she told my aunt. She also kept hinting that "its not anxiety, your just shy!" and it pisses me off because I know that its not just shyness! It was just some random thing she said to me, and then at that point I knew she had been reading my question. I used to be a shy kid all my life when I was younger but I had friends. I probably wouldve grown out of it if it wasnt for the bullying.

I am so sorry that you were made to feel that you would not succeed. I don't know you personally so all I can do is give you my opinion. First of all you need to believe in yourself. It is very important if you want to succeed. To help prepare yourself for a GED test you can go to the library and get a GED book. Email your councilor again. Let her know that you are very serious. If you don't think you can do this (get GED, get a job,etc) Then do it for your dad I know that he believes in you. You can do anything you want you just have to put your mind to it and put your whole heart in it. You have been so brave so far for your dad, and I wish you all the best. Just remember that people who bully only do so because they are unhappy with their life or themselves. Please don't give up be strong and show your dad that your the man he always knew you would be!! You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless.

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to....
