I'm just wanting to know if I have SAD...so i'm a 12 year old girl and i'm goin to play basketball this year. I don't know if I can because i'm scared being eyed and center of attention. I've been worrying about it for a few weeks now. I'm nervous when I meet people or do stuff in public. When I have to present stuff in class I try to get out of it. When i'm meeting my friends somewhere I get scared/so nervous and I get out of it or I face it and my stomache has this weird feeling (I can't explain sorry) my muscles tense, i'm worried i'll get judged, I get headaches, I can't speak ect. Sorry if I get any words wrong! Thanks! P.S. I took 5 tests online and they came up postive.

We can't give u a direct answer online.
U will need 2 go 2a Dr for that.
Anxiety is real -truly can b a dilemna.
Growing up feeling like that was 'trying'
but I managed.
Anxiety wasn't recognised as I grew up.
Thinking I was 'awkward' or 'over-sensitive'
I 'forced' myself 2do things. Actually enjoyed
them as I got used 2them.
Remember,it is okay 2b anxious / nervous etc

online tests aren't meant to be actual diagnoses. i've had problems with social anxiety but it's mostly when people spend too much time by themselves in their bedrooms ect. they get use to being alone. the best way to solve that is by getting outside and doing stuff with your friends or family. being afraid of presenting stuff infront of your class or going to a basketball game is stage fright. that usually goes away over time if you keep making yourself do it.
:) thanks. I understand.
