In support of our Christmas appeal, 13 year old Emily blogs about her
experience of mental health at school.
A lot of my anxiety comes from things like how I look that day, how does my outfit look. I
experience social anxiety, especially if I’m having a conversation with a stranger. I worry
about how I’m coming across and if I’m making sense. I do a lot of worrying about really
small things and I also feel guilty a lot too.
I’m 13 years old, and I live with my mum, dad, and my sister who is 17 and my brother
who’s 21. In my spare time I like to draw, play video games, I cook a bit and I like to read.
I’ve been experiencing anxiety for about four years. I think it all started when I went on a
residential trip in year 4 with my friends, without my parents. I was really worried about
it and when I came back my anxiety got worse and worse. I also experience depression,
which is usually worse in the winter than the summer, although I can also experience
depression as a reaction to certain situations, such as if I think that somebody has judged
me.
