So my mom and i went to the doctor and got our skin tags on our neck removed. I only had a few so the doctor just cut them off but my mom had a lot more so the doctor froze them off. Now mines are fine but hers seem to have swelled up? They look kinda like blisters. Is that normal? Shoud she go back to the doctor?

Okay, so I’ve been diagnosed with Epilepsy in the end of September. I go to a British School in America, and it’s my first year there (Year 9 which is 8th grade).

It’s been hard coping with this Epilepsy. And since the past month or so, I’ve been having anxiety issues.

However, I do not know exactly why I get anxious or what triggers it.

Sometimes, when I feel like things are being told to me too quickly, or too much information is being told to me. Even if it’s just a teacher talking in class. I feel like I need to get up and leave for a while.

And most of the time I end up crying.

Other times, it’s when I have a seizure, and when people ask me what’s wrong, I just burst out crying…

But I’m still confused as to why this happens.

My mom knows about it.

Three of my close teachers (who I trust) know about it.

They all tell me to figure out why I get anxious.

But I don’t know why.

How can I figure out why I get anxious???

(My schools’ small; 4 people in my grade).

I’m leaving for college in about a month and a half and the anxiety is rather overwhelming. I’ve never left my parents for long periods of time in my life, and the thought of seeing them only 4 times a year is just depressing, even though the school is around 6 hr drive from home. I keep imagining the moment when we wave goodbye to each other on move-in day, and my mom starts tearing up. (I’m tearing up right now as I write this.) Is there anyway to overcome this anxiety?
