I’m going to be camping for the next month or so. I’m excited, and terrified. I’m excited because I get to see my only friend for the first time in months. And I get to meet other kids from other countries. But I’m terrified because of my anxiety, sleeping issues, fears, and problems. I’m afraid of showing to much of my body. And that is a huge problem because we shower in the same room (not the same shower). And the bathroom stalls are so small it’s impossible to change in them. I HATE changing in front of people, even if their girls. I’m also terrified because there are alot of people at the camp. There are 265 girls and 67 counselors. That equals 332 people, if my math is correct. And I have horrible social anxiety, to make it worse. I hate being in places where there are alot of people. The only big places I’ve been to in my 13 years of existence are New York City and Boston. Both are big cities, but I didn’t even travel through the whole city. So, me going to camp is a good experience, even though I’ve been there 3 other times. But I think that it’s actually more terrifying. If you really think about it. But…………at least my cousin won’t be there.
P.S Sorry if I sound like I’m over reacting or anything. And sorry for wasting your time.

Your are definatley NOT over reacting or anything, we all have different fears. And I kinda know how you feel, in any store really like Bob’s or Target i’d get panic attacks. But the way that I kind off got over it was to think, This is my space and I don’t knoe these people they have nothing to do with me and if I just stick with the people I know and stay clear of anything alarming to moe, I’ll be fine! And as for showing your body and stuff Wear like T-shirts while swimming and it’s OK to change in front of people, you are all girls (im assuming) and you all have the same bodies and there’s nothing to be ashamed of! You didn’t waste my/any one elses time. I hope this helped at least a little!! stay strong, you can do it! (:
