anxiety?
What does it really mean to have anxiety?
Some people say I could have it , but I don't really know what it means.

Well I wrote back to you in that post & said I am set in school. I already know what i'm gonna do & as far as him, he motivates me to go to school. He said he doesn't want me to be like him when he was in high school & all he did is focused on me. We use to ditch everyday together & cause of that he had to stay after school in senior hours to catch up with his credits. He luckily graduated , but never went to college cause of me.
He doesn't want me to do the same. I thank him for that.
I don't focus good because of my abortion I had on Aug.2012. I fear that I suffer from depression & I guess you can say that might be another lead to anxiety.
I'm gonna admit, I can be obssesive at times, but I try to not to be cause I know he doesn't like that.
As far as him going to school, i'm just going to support him as I should & not worry about anything. Things happen for a reason :/

Ha, yes, I remember now. Sweetie, you are young. You have a lot of worry over a relationship with your boyfriend which is normal for young romance. Not healthy, but lots of kids do it. I've encouraged you to focus on you and will say that again. By that I mean, you first. What are you going to do seperate of your boyfriend in the next couple of years. This is a really critical time for setting up your life and your future.
You sound anxious and please take no offense to this, obsessive about your boyfriend. At 17, questioning whether your sex life will fade down the road shouldn't be high in your mind. My opinion any way. To me it speaks of a bit of insecurity in not knowing what will happen down the road. What is really important is to get a solid foundation to yourself so that with or without this particular boyfriend, you can feel confident that you will be alright.
It's natural to have fear that your boyfriend is going off to college that the relationship will end. So, some anxiety is normal. But you write in a way that makes me wonder if you are maybe more than a little anxious.
I can't diagnose you with anxiety but it is when your mind is really noisy, you can't eat or sleep properly, you are a constant state of nerves, worried, stressed. If you are easily agitated, jumpy, and your mind spins and spins what if, what if. If you feel this way, talk to your mom. Then you should see someone that can maybe do some talk therapy with you to help you clarify your feelings and help you learn to calm youself and quelch the anxiety. I don't know what is a normal level for you but a professional would be able to figure this out. So, talk with your mom.
And work hard on your own studies and things seperate from your boyfriend. This centers you and helps you remain confident. good luck

Hi there and welcome. Well, anxiety is a word for nervousness, worry, stress. We all have anxiety from time to time. Then there is clinical anxiety which is a psychiatric disorder. This is when those feelings begin to interfere with our life.
