I start school tomorrow and mostly when I wake up for school in the mornings I get anxious and I need to go the toliet sometimes even in school I get super anxious In class and it feels like I need to let out gas but it’s embarrassing and I get even more anxious and I really wanna get Rid of this problem but Idk what it is

It’s tomorrow and in person

My dad booked me a blood test and it said possible gluten sensitivity idk about that

I feel so embarrassed in class and I can never feel comfortable in class

@Ocdscary I see. There's not much time to make a game plan. What's the norm in your school about asking to use the restroom or go to the water fountain during class? What's the follow up for the possible gluten insensitivity?

@NOCD Advocate - Katie I asked my teacher once and she didn’t let me and I begged her as well I was so nervous and embarrassed

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Teachers don’t really let you out unless their nice ones which is rare in my school

@NOCD Advocate - Katie There was no follow up they just said go six weeks with gluten free diet which is impossible in my household

@Ocdscary What are the barriers to going gluten free at home? Ok, so you'll probably have to stay in class. Have people commented when you've passed gas before?

@NOCD Advocate - Katie I never gassed in my class I hold it in and if someone did gas people including teacher will laugh at you

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Everything including shopping always includes gluten and I feel fine at home because I feel super comfortable at home and it’s a wonderful environment

@Ocdscary Ok, I'm sorry to hear that they are so rude. I guess holding it it is probably the best option. At least you have proof that you're capable of doing that

@NOCD Advocate - Katie School is pretty hard for me and I guess lots of people feel nervous at school but mine is ruining me

@NOCD Advocate - Katie It’s super hard and I wanna cry inside but I can’t oh well

@Ocdscary What can you do to express your emotions about school when you're back in a safe place?

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Idk and I’m starting the hardest year with a major exam called GCSEs that’s can give me anxiety and also my ocd themes are already enough for me

@NOCD Advocate - Katie I just love staying at home my parents are great and everything and I tell my siblings and about it and we laugh about I even tell my cousins

@Ocdscary It's like two different worlds
