Welcome to the new blog that we created for you! As a coach at GALS I wanted to create an easy and fun way to answer any questions you may have. A personal question, a challenge with school, advice on how to solve a problem, or looking for a new coping skill. It's been a challenging time and it can bring up a lot of feelings and emotions. You can leave your name or post anonymously. Remember, many of you are feeling the same things so by posting your questions you are helping each other!
Hi Miss Kim👋! I am in the 6th grade and recently I have been having anxiety attacks and I don't know why. So one example is right before my piano lesson, I started yelling, crying and refusing to do it and I think it was because I wasn't prepared and I didn't practice and even though my teacher said it was fine that I didn't practice I still refused so we had to reschedule. It also happened just yesterday before my physical therapy session but I think it was mainly because I was being lazy and I didn't want to do my exercises but I also wasn't done with my homework and I didn't want to stop and get off of my computer. I just want to let you know that I am VERY bad at transitioning. And you might be wondering if I have seen a counselor and the answer is, I have and it isn't comfortable for me to talk about personal stuff with people I don't really know. I have also talked to my doctor but she just recommends talking to counselors and I don't want to do that. It is okay if you don't know how to answer or how to help because I don't really like talking about it. Also I know this is a long question with lots of words but I want to thank you for having this page for us to ask questions and I think it is awesome that you read them and respond and try to help! It's okay if you can't help me because the reason it's so long is because I just needed to express how I feel and maybe get some help! Do you have any suggestions? (It's fine if you don't)
