I've been worrying way too much, but am too tired to focus on something and disctract myself.

I'm 13 years old and have been feeling very worried, nervous, and anxious throughout the last week. In the last day, I've also been feeling occaisonally depressed. They have been various things, but now it's something I can't really pin down. I try to distract myself, but I can't concentrate on it because I'm extremely mentally tired and have brain fog. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I feel as if my brain doesn't accept it.

I have tried talking to my parents, but eventually they get more and more heated, and when they aren't, they just tell me to focus on something else (which I can't, but they insist I can).

Even when I am doing something, I fail to concentrate on it as my brain is just so tired. I can't afford to sleep, and I can't nap as I just can't fall asleep (because I worry about it when I try). I can fall asleep at night at a reasonable time, but even then my neck is always sore and that keeps me up and worrying.

One fear I know I have is the fear of not being able to recover from this, and another is just about not sleeping well. I do have another discussion opened, but the question there is mostly answered.

If there is a way to get rid of my brain fog and make myself mentally awake, I feel as if that would make it much easier to recover.

hi there.

eg i am a chronic health anxiety suffer so i know how you feel when it comes to anxiety. it sucks you feel like this at such a young age. you have probably been told to that its just hormones and stuff like that( you never know it might be). is anything at all that you can think of triggering this

eg . school, family relations, etc....

tbh i seriously doubt there is anything wrong with physically or mentally. brain fog is a pain. my way od dealing with brain fog is only using technology for 15 mins a day( exept the tele of course. 😂. get yourself away from worrying things atleast once a day by going for a walk or do something you enjoy.dont let it get on top of you like i have , you dont want to go down that road at such a young age. try speaking to gp you might get some better pro advice aswell. you got your whole life to look forward to. dont let this beat you.

Thanks! When there are people around, I feel much better.
