Hi guys. So I just got to college and I’m having a very hard time. This is my first time being away from my family; my comfort zone, my home. I am only 2 hours away, but still terrified. I am on a huge campus in a huge city in an apartment with roomates I don’t know. My anxiety is at an all time high. It is debilitating. I truly feel like I can’t do this. This is torture for me..I almost feel like I want to dropout and move back home. But the worst part is I know I can’t do that because that would mean I would have to somehow find someone to take my lease, drop my classes, and figure out my finances it would cost me like $2000 for nothing. But I need to take care of my mental health before i really lose it..someone please tell me what to do. I can’t do this...I want to go home...
Hello girl-
You can do this... you sticking it out will be the best thing you can do. Feel the fear and do it anyways, also an excellent book. I had a similar situation when I went off to collage and it turned out to be the best 4 years of my life. Are you on any medication? You might want to consider that to help you out.
Anxiety is nothing but fear and in order to overcome a fear you must hit it head on. You can do this. There are guidance counselors I'm sure at your university. Try talking to one of thm or get a personal therapist. But don't drop out. You can so do it. Believe in yourself.
You can do this kate I know how you feel and it sucks and it’s super scary but I promise you that u can do this we are both in the same boat so if you need or want to talk I’m right here I’m just a message away
Hi. My daughter was at college and had bad anxiety. She went to get counseling at her campus. It is usually included in your college fees. It helped her a lot. Try to check to see if yours has one and make an appointment.
