Is it normal to always be nervous?

Basically I get nervous over random things. For example going into class. Sometimes I even feel like crying. Sometimes I feel like killing myself (I would NEVER kill myself). If it helps I'm a girl?!? What shall I do? HELP

    Hey. I failed a class today because I missed too many classes. I missed classes because I was afraid of class discussions every morning that I ended up chickening out. I'd get up at 3AM to prepare for class and write down what I would say for the discussions but end up not going every time cos I get sssso nervous.
    I totally get you. I don't know what to do either.

      I don't know if it helps, but when you need to reply, just play a role. If you're not being yourself, then everything you do will seem as if not directly related to you and the pressure will go away. Just pick a stereotype and interpret it.

    I'd consider talking to your parents or your doctor about the possibility of depression and/or anxiety. It's no fun to live like that.

    OhMyGoodness! I'm nervous for everything! I hate walking into places by myself or buying things or just like anything I feel like would draw attention to me. But I also like being the life of the party :p

    Yes and no. It is normal because a lot of people experience this. It is not a normal reaction to normal situations. Go to a dr and get medicine. It is an anxiety disorder.

    It's either generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder. I kind of had/have the same issue, but I've learned to deal with it and I'm still dealing with it. I just don't want to have to rely on prescription drugs to feel normal or pay a shit load of money to talk to some shrink. I'd rather work it out on my own.

    I'm the same way. I went to therapy for a while, and the therapist diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder.
