Frown A bit of advice please!

So sometimes I just feel like the stupidest person in the history of the world! I have this thing where I'll get so nervouse I about what people think I won't do anything until the last minute when I'm freaking out and on the verge of tears

As an example I forgot my binder at school over summer but I was so afraid to tell my mom that I never ended up doing anything about it (right now I know I have a lot of the stuff in that binder that I need in some form in online storage so I SHOULD be safe) I know it'd be better if I do say something but I just get so nervouse because I know she'll get put out with me (which isn't the worst thing in the world I know but it still makes me feel just so horrible and like I want to go hide and never come out )and by now there's really nothing she can do anyways so what's the point of saying?

I really want to break this habbit but I don't know how; I always end up freaking out and never saying anything or I can never seem to find the right time, it feels like every time is the worst time. In the end it's worse than if I just said in the beginning and my mom gets put out anyways (if I end up ever saying, sometimes I just can't tell her if I find some other way around it; like now for example)

Any advice to help break this habbit?

I think you'll just have to grit your teeth, and come out with it in the beginning. Once you do it for the first time, after that it won't be so hard. Usually what we IMAGINE will happen is much worse than what actually happens. I used to do the same thing, but once I figured out that I'm better off confessing in the beginning, it became habit. Besides, my mental health is worth it! LOL

You won't worry, fret, get panicked if you just let it out from the beginning. And you'll feel better about yourself too.

Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
