I remember when my anxiety started. During third grade. A rumor that people were going to come to school and kidnap us all. Started by people I still know the names of. It ended up spreading really easily since there was only 90 third graders or so and everyone was friends with everyone. Everyone else treated it like it was nothing to be scared of, others got serious, and then you had me a a few others from my friend group. We were anxious. I remember a friend offering to look things up on Google about it and making me feel a bit better. My stomach always still felt sick at the thought but I prevailed through school. My parents always told me "it's just a rumor" but I was to stupid to realize that it actually was.
The rumor resurfaced in fourth grade around Halloween again. I remember it being 9/11 and I had gone into social studies on the verge of tears because I had heard the rumor again. I ended up telling the teacher the rumor and who said it. She said she would take care of it. Which probably only was telling them to stop talking about it. We were in fourth grade either way. They thought we'd listen. But I remember one time I got so scared I felt like I was gonna throw up. I ended up calling my mom to pick me up and she did. I worked on a fairy garden I had gotten for my birthday during that time but I still remember being anxious.
And so to this day I still am scared of the same stupid things I was scared of in third grade.

You should forget this but if it plays on your mind and you are scared now of being kidnapped please see a therapist. Even if your parents are rich I doubt very much that it will happen.
ReplyThank you, I do remember this fairly vividly as I have ocd. But I also have gone to a therapist before only to be met with a bad therapist that only gave me papers and didn't help much. But I will be asking my parents soon to go to a therapist again. Thank you so much for your kind words of advice. ❤️
