Need advice

Basically I have anxiety and go into like these frame of minds where say if im somewhere I just can't stay and want to go home incase I faint or go mad or something. Its like similar to a panic attack but not full blown just moderate but its a really horrible feeling. I have fainted in the past because of this and am always scared of doing it again its just something im going to have to live with.

The thing is I go to football 3 times a week and the mood thing happened today and people mentioned how quiet I was being. I wouldn't have gone if Id have known I would be like that but a lot of the time I feel bad at home and then go to football and I feel a lot better.

I just wanted advice on what to do and should I go even when I feel like this? They say stay at home and rest if you don't feel well but with me I rarely feel physically ill its mostly anxiety and thinking im going mental etc. If I go and end up fainting though people will think im strange (well I am but ppl don't know about this lol) expecially the younger kids who I help to teach, I would have thought seeing an adult was strange for fainting when I was younger.
You need some counselling that's the only way around it:smile:

Couselling never helped me. Overcoming the problem yourself is much more satisfying and effective.

Every one is different though, so maybe it will work?

I think the OP should try everything that is available and get all the support thy need, and maybe that will help. Its whatever you feel comfortable with the most.
