5 Things I Wish People Knew About My Anxiety (A Kid’s Perspective)

Not knowing what comes next is one of things that makes me worry the most. This is why I ask so many questions about things that are going to happen at school, parties, and when I meet new people. I like to know as much as possible ahead of time so I can think about how I'm going to act or what I'm going to do. Sometimes I even ask really off-the-wall questions that'll probably never happen, but it's my way of dealing with being nervous. Please be patient with me. It means a lot when you listen and respond without getting really frustrated.
