Struggling to attend uni/study

Hi,

I'm new to this site and I just wanted to chat to people who've experienced similar things.

I've struggled for a while with a mixture of anxiety/depression, but have always been able to function and study on the whole, until the past few months. I've been getting more and more anxious going into uni, to the point where I miss days at a time. I think it's because I have finals in a few months time, and I'm just not coping well with the stress. I feel like such a failure everytime I miss another day and that demotivates me even more, so it becomes a vicious cycle!

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience of this, and how you coped with it? I've never felt anxious/stressed to the point of not being able to face uni for a few days/week before.

Thank you! :-)

Seek help before it gets out of control , I left it to long and now on meds and therapy .

Hope you get well soon x

Thanks Richard! :-) I've started on meds again, and waiting for therapy, which is due to start soon. I keep thinking that everytime I do manage to go in that that's it and I'm fine, but then I just spiral again. I've been feeling a bit better the past few days, but I guess it just takes time to pick yourself up again, there's no quick fix. 

No I'm afraid I've found that out to my cost it's a slow process jade sometimes we are our own worst enemy but at least we not alone, wishing you all the best .

So true! Thank you, it's just nice when other people understand. Wishing you all the best too, take care! :-)

You to jade and if you ever need to chat there's always understanding ears to listen on here .
