Hello. I've suffered from anxiety since I was about 6 years old. Every day before going to school [I just transfered from home to public school], I throw up. Almost everyday. For the past 3 weeks, I haven't, because I've gotten medications and I'm seeing a psychologist. No one knows that I have this. Every Sunday, I feel like I'm going to get sick, because a couple of sunday's ago, my mother brought over my boyfriend without telling me. This is bad. She thought I wouldn't have anxiety, <BECAUSE> I'm diagnosed with Anticipatory Anxiety. But, she was wrong. Right now I'm shaking, because she said she was going to the store. But when she brought over my boyfriend, she said that. She promised me, though, that she'll never do that again. My step dad keeps telling me right now that she's not bringing him over, and I have nothing to worry about. But I still am scared.

So...is there anyone that can help me right now, to calm down, and help me realize that he's not coming over, and I shouldn't be scared?

I am sorry that your mom didn't realize that she broke your trust and what you are feeling right now would be for anyone a normal reaction. It sounds like you have had a discussion with both mom and dad about what it means to have your diagnosis and although it may not help you today what you are feeling right now anyone would be feeling...except it is worse for you. So I guess all you can do is wait and see if she is true to her word that she did not bring home your boyfriend...it is a trust issue and lets hope your mom will be able to understand that it is very important that she doesn't ever do that sort of thing again. Mom was wrong...any mom would be wrong for doing something that would make their son or daughter anxious but now she must build her trust with you. Good luck.
