Hi everyone, it's been so long since I've last been online!
I just wanted to come back here as I'm currently in abit of a panic and looking for some support. Any advice is welcome :blush:
So, things have been going ok over the past couple of months I've been trying to get on with things, I've been learning to drive for the past year which has gone well (my test is coming up, but that's another story!)
Anyway, so I decided to apply to college and I start tomorrow morning. As usual I am now getting worried and bad anticipation anxiety and I'm regretting ever applying. I don't know if I've made a mistake...
I had to go into the college for an assessment which went ok and I put myself down for night classes (I thought it would be a quieter, calmer atmosphere at night) but I then had second thoughts when it came to it as I didn't want to spend the whole day worrying & not eating before college so I switched over to the daytime class (my thought is I can get up and go and get it over with) But now it's come down to it I really don't know if I can do it!
The class is once a week for 3 hours, 9am-12pm. It doesn't sound a lot on paper but in my mind I'm worrying so much about having to be in a class full of people for 3 hours solid. I'm not too bad when I go somewhere if I know I won't be there long but worry when I feel like I can't escape.
I'm trying to help myself but I don't know if I'm ready to go back to that sort of environment with students... I don't want to make myself ill with the anxiety every week.
I just don't know what to do, right now I feel like I want to chicken out but then I know I'll feel guilty but also relieved. Ahhhh I just don't know what to do :shrug::unsure:
