What Do I Do About Severe Anxiety And Fear Of Socialising After Years Of Bullying In School?

I am afraid of social. Think twice before you talk. In elementary school, I was bullied by classmates and they isolated me. In junior high school, I was told by them that I was a virus. I dare not go to school, but I dare not go to school because my father is more terrible than them. Now I am a high school student, but I am still afraid that they will isolate me. When I was in high school, the girls in the bedroom always interrupted me when I was talking. I feel that they are very unfriendly to me. Now in the second year of high school, a friend said that I have some mild autism. I don t know what should I do?

Hello,

You are advised to encourage yourself to mix up with other people as you are now in high school. You can just visit book shops, talk to the shop keeper and people around. Go to a coffee shop, make new friends. Don' take it to heart if they ignore. Just keep trying, it will help boost your confidence.

Do not be too conscious of yourself. Make sure you are well dressed and have a good hairstyle. Be friendly with anyone you meet. Follow a healthy routine. Stay away from smoking, recreational drugs, alcohol or addictions if any. Brisk walking in the morning and evening is helpful. Do not get stressed up, avoid getting tired to prevent anxiety.

Get connected to a Physical therapist, talk therapy, group therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy will be very helpful. Be gentle with yourself, do not be forceful if you are not comfortable with a situation or person. Avoid people who discourage you, demean you, or make you feel uneasy. Take food that is nutritious, and homemade, do not take processed or packaged food. Avoid taking junk food.

You may not be bothered about autism. Just make sure you are being treated with kindness, do not let anyone discourage you, make sure you complete a task that you take. Focus on the task, do not let anything or anyone distract you. Do not overload yourself with a lot of tasks. Finish one task with precision before you take another task. Take quality sleep.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
