I'm anxious starting first period

Post Reply New Topic

Well, school started again, only it's worse than the past few years because I'm actually getting panic attacks during first period. I have one of those teachers who won't let me draw either, so I can't just scribble to calm myself down. He lets people talk while they work, which makes me nervous because there's always one conversation about me somewhere in the room and I can actually hear everything they're saying but I don't know who's saying it so I can't just tell my dean, and when I do tell my dean he doesn't do anything. He won't let me work in the hallway by myself either.

I don't know if I told him about the asperger's or not; my english teachers know, and my art teacher at the very least knows she can't actually do anything to my drawing except point at it and look at it [last year I almost dropped the class because my teacher erased the whole nose on my self-portrait and ruined it], and my history teacher doesn't know and I don't plan on telling her because I don't think she'll get it either. I actually don't want to tell my physics teacher, but it's only been two weeks and it's already getting bad again.

I really don't know what to do.

Also, some morons spray perfume every morning and it sets off my asthma. I had three asthma attacks yesterday before lunch.

I would suggest telling either your dean or your teacher, whichever one you'd be more comfortable talking to. They should understand and be able to accomodate you, especially allowing you to draw in order to calm yourself down.
