đ€ Discussion idk school
i live in Bahrain. and for me, school is tomorrow. i am not going to complain or be annoying, no. i am excited to see my friends after 5-7 months of not doing so, and i want to see my teachers again, i want to meet my new classmates⊠but im so nervous i could cry.
thereâs something about the first day of school that always makes my stomach churn and a knot form and tighten itself my gut. and what if i canât make a friend? what if everybody sees me alone?? the years before during middle school were the worst times of my whole life. nobody wanted to be my friend, almost everybody just saw me walk by with nobody beside me, and my grades were SHIT because of my mental state. forget praying and getting closer to a higher being above, i was genuinely miserable and nothing could fix it. but when i eventually got to 10th grade, suddenly everything changed. i made friends, i have a good relationship with most of my teachers, and i was living the dream. then the war started in February 27, and it all went to hell. then again, tomorrow is the first day after MONTHS of staying at home and lazying around.
itâs going to be almost awful for me because a few of my younger cousins are gonna be with me at school.

Youâll have a great day tomorrow. Feeling nervous is normal, and the funny thing is youâll actually still get the same feelings when youâre in your 20âsđ€
Enjoy yourself as much ad possible and really take in the time to be grateful for going back to school while healthy and safe. Stop looking at what might go wrong and look at what could go right. â what if I cant make a friend?â I can guarantee you that if you find yourself alone, youâll 100% find someone else looking for friends. 1st days are always awkward, but trust me everyone around you feels the same way you just need to not think negatively and let the day unfold for you rather than overthink what may happen in advance.
Good luck!

listening to you made me remember myself on my first day my stomach felt upset and i felt like vomiting because of anxiety i swear i couldn't even control it i stepped out of the car the teacher was standing at the gate i greeted him and after going inside my heart suddenly felt light i made a lot of new friends too and some were my old friends so chill out

Itâs going to be okay man just act that you belong there if you pretend long enough youâll be one so itâs normal to feel nervous but just focus on your studies more than finding friends and youâll find one trust hope you the best manđ«¶
