 I'm 19 M I've dealt with anxiety my whole life and recently I've just been thinking abt my childhood and school ect. When I realized like holy fuck my anxiety as a kid was horrible all from what I remember 3rd grade to even 8th grade I wouldn't be able to sleep at nights I had school, and night I did sleep I'd get up at like 4 in the morning to go tell my mom I felt sick and couldn't go to school. Or in the mornings I'd cry which I assume was my panic attacks that I didn't want to go to school so I constantly missed school weeks at a time (still had good grade tho) it was so bad my mom would call the cops on me to drag me outta the house to get to school, but I just look back and think how my mom would see me crying like crazy abt going to school and not think like "hey maybe something is wrong" but nope I constantly got yelled at from my mom my oldest sister who lived in a different city and our schools sheriff.
