What amount of anxiety is normal? yesterday was the first day of school and i almost started crying because i was afraid to go in.

Anxious Mood: Dear deana, i bet you weren't alone on that one. As unpleasant as that felt - the first day of school can be anxiety provoking. However, if you are consistently anxious - especially over small things or without any provocation - that may be excessive. If this is a regular problem consider seeing a psychologist to learn how to better cope. Take care & have a great year at school.
