Is it normal that not having an agenda (book) makes me want to die?

School started about a week ago and I haven't gotten an agenda/planner yet. I can't drive to the store, and for the last four days my dad has been saying we'll go later. School is the only thing that's really important to me. Don't get me wrong, I love my family. But I don't have any friends or hobbies or interests outside of school and I need an agenda to do well in school. It's only been a few days but I already feel like I'm way behind in every class. If I'm not doing well in school I really don't see any point in living. Doing well is the only way I'm ever going to make anything of myself. When I get this anxious I end up picking the skin off of my face and arms...I hate it, but I can't help it. INN that not having an agenda makes me want to die?

    The picking at skin etc makes me think there's an underlying anxiety issue that you really should look into.

    It's overdramatic to be so anxious over something so trivial. But if it's part of an anxiety disorder...well...we do odd things in those situations.

        It will do in a pinch.

        It's a simple solution to the anxiety you are feeling. Unless you don't want to feel better and would rather blame someone else for a problem you can easily solve yourself.

          I get what you're saying, but it doesn't really work. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like I'm screwing it up any time I make my own on regular paper. I feel like I have the dates all wrong or something.

    Really? That's quite dramatic. What are you going to do when you are confronted with a serious problem in life?

    If you rely on your father to help you get your agenda book, then you need to tell him what you're going through.

    Don't sweat the small stuff, eh. :)

      I have been confronted with serious problems in life...oddly enough, I handle them much better than this.

    Dude I do the exact same thing down to the tee. I also freak out about crossing the days off properly on my calendar, and making sure my calendar and planner are perfectly synchronized. If I can't find my planner, might as well just stay in bed and cry. If there is an error or if a date/time changes, I have to white it out perfectly and rewrite it. Also I can't switch between pens. And no pencils.

    No... Have you ever seen a professional about your anxiety? Can't you walk to the store or is there anyone else you know that could drive you to the store?

      No, I don't really believe in therapy. But I got an agenda a while back and all is well :)
