Hi there,

It's okay if you aren't ready to come out to your friends and family right now. I'm sure you will be able to when the time is right. This is just something that is really serious and scary, so it is definitely understandable why you would be anxious! If you think it would help, you can always tell them through a thought out letter, email, Facebook message, or text message, because this allows you to get out your main points and some details without nerves or interruptions getting in the way. It know you mentioned talking online or texting is difficult, too, but at least once you DO press send, you won't be able to back out of telling them. Just close your eyes and press the button. But once the time comes, I'm sure you'll be able to!

It may be worth it to speak to someone such as a doctor or therapist about what you are feeling with your anxiety. They would be able to diagnose you with anxiety if that is what they believe you have as well as start you on a treatment plan that can include something like therapy or medication. They can help you cope with everything going on in your life. I know it is scary to talk to a doctor about it, but it can be SO beneficial to you to be able to open up and say it to someone. Treatment can really help you get some of your confidence back.

As far as homework, maybe you can work on some of the homework with friends. There's nothing wrong with that. You'll be able to have fun with them while doing it as well as get it done faster than you would if you were working by yourself because all of you can put your heads together to complete the problem.

The SAT isn't really that bad, I've taken it twice. The best advice I can give you is to do some of the practice problems the SAT has up on their website since they'll prepare you a little bit.

I haven't taken driving classes yet, but your parents can probably help you practice, too.

Try and find ways to express what you are feeling, both with being transgender as well as anxiety in general. For example, you can use writing, art, or music to get out what you are feeling, or exercise to release stress.

I'm sorry if this wasn't much help!
