Oh dear, it’s perfectly normal to be scared/anxious about such a big transition. It’s your emotions trying to protect your precious heart! Some things that may help:
1. Lots of negative what ifs here… maybe combat some of those with positive ones. What if it’s awesome? What if you meet great friends? What if it’s exactly what you need and exceeds your expectations?
2. Practice deep breathing. Your inhale will be a few seconds shorter than your exhale. This helps combat anxiety because anxiety is a biological response to a threat. In an actual threatening situation, our breathing would be rapid. So the calming, slow deep breaths, signal to our body and mind that we are safe.
3. Do some imagining on your hopes. Imagine it all the time. Even if it doesn’t turn out exactly like that, you may go in with a more positive attitude, and therefore more open to things.
We can’t always control what happens on the outside, but we can learn to have better control over ourselves and our emotions. I’m assuming you have a few months before school starts so maybe you can practice some of these things and feel much better before you begin. Best of luck! I’m always here to cheer you on!
