Perhaps therapy is an option you should seek out in addition to meds. I too have anxiety and I find talking to a supportive, non judgmental person helps. I find that if I think about things too much I'm only giving myself more excuses. Good Luck.

sounds like you need a medication change or adjustment. talk to the prescribing doctor &/or psych doctor; if you have both, sign releases of information for both of them to eachother, so that they are both on the same page. there's no substitute for counselling with an accredited therapist, either.They can really help get things more manageable, little at a time.
slow, deep breathing really helps.-- long slow deep breath in, long slow deep breath out. start with a minute, two or three times a day (or wheneverr you feel anxious), increase that to two minutes two to three times a day a few days later, then five minutes, and so on, til you get up to thirty minutes two to three time per time per day. doing this is the quickest, most natural way to feel better in a very short time.
don't expect perfection. -- don't have time to do that, just make time, whereever you are. nobody's perfect, and like all habits, it takes time to make this good habit stick.
don't let anxiety stop you from doing things and living life; take the anxiety along with you, and since it's already there; make a friend out of it. I've also found it doesn't hurt to pray.
with the slow deep breathing, the right medicine, and help of professionals, you can feel normal again, really enjoy life, and go kick some goals!

High School soccer at most schools in America is all about athleticism, unfortunately. Your tryout will most likely consist of running and small sided games and then on to full sided. First thing you want to work on is fitness, of course you can't tackle fitness and disregard the rest of the game though. I would recommend running in the morning, maybe 3 miles if you can. Go home eat healthy, shower whatever and then get some friends and play pick up for 2 hours. Before you play stretch, warm up, juggle etc. Later in the afternoon work on agility until you can't do anymore. Rest a day, but on this "rest" day be sure to get touches on the ball, juggle, kick the ball against the wall and maybe jog for a bit. Be sure to eat very healthy to get your body the nutrients it needs to recover. I'd say repeat this day by day. In the end coaches want in shape, vocal, good soccer players. The more you play with people the better you're quickness will be and you'll be much more comfortable on the ball and with players coming at you.

I have suffered from anxiety myself, and I know how debilitating it can be. It sounds as though that the medication that has been prescribed for you is giving you unwanted side-effects which are not really helping your situation. There are different types of medication available to help with your anxiety, therefore I think it is best that you speak to your doctor, let him/her know what you have been experiencing, and if there is an alternative medication that you may be able to take.
Don't let your anxiety take hold of your life, you obviously really love playing soccor, so I think you should take a chance (which I know can be really hard...). See your doctor who may refer you to a psychologist who may be able to prescribe a different medication, and give you some coping mechanisms and strategies which can help you overcome your fear.
Goodluck.

Practicing some breathing exercises help a lot for poor memory, depression, worry, stress, fears, insecurities, poor concentration, anger, anxieties, loneliness, & for all unwanted mental and emotional states, etc.
Mindfulness of Breathing exercises:
1) Be in a comfortable position, whether sitting
or lying down.
2) Have someone watch your other children for
about 10 or 15 min. [Increase in time, after practicing for a month].
Then close your eyes, and concentrate
totally on your breathing.
3) At the end of your first inhalation of oxygen,
count one. Keep doing this until you get to
ten. Remain patient with yourself.
4) Then focus your attention on breathing only
through your nostrils, which filter out all
the things, which are not healthy to breath
into your lungs. Be aware of the various
sensations through your nostrils, while you
continue the counting. When you get to
ten, start again at one.
5) When a distracting thoughts enters your mind
allow them to pass through {your mind], w/out
analyzing them, or judging them, or trying to fix them.
And then gently, patiently bring your full
attention back to your breath. Every time,
a distracting thought {any thought which
would take your attention of your breath),
comes to your mind, you need to use this
skillful, disciplinary method of bring it back.
Thoughts do come into our minds, especially
worrisome , or pressing thoughts
which dictate to us that we have an anxious mind.
Just be patient w/yourself, and keep practicing.
**"There is already proven evidence of the
Success of The Mindfulness of Breathing
exercises Proven by Dr. Jon Kabat-ZinnPhD
and by many other Dr.s and Scientists as

I practice mindfulness of breathing to reduce stress, providing insight into life. It is Great !

Reading the book: "Working with Anger.” by: Thubten Chodron will help if you experience occasional anger/are under the influenceof anger or hatred often.

"This meditative practice, the mindfulness of breathing exercises are what Medical Doctors, Psychiatrists, most Psychologists and especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapists teach their patients to help them intelligently to control symptoms of depression, anxieties, insecurities, bipolar, adhd, worries, loneliness, And for many people who are pessimistic in life, as well as many other unwanted mental and emotional states.
