I am due to go to uni locally on Monday......and I'm terrified of the induction week.
I suffer from extreme anxiety, depression, IBS, and have problems with eating (probably due to my anxiety).
I'm 28.
I know that if I could get through induction week I'd be ok-ish with lectures. However, I've been in touch with the tutor at the uni' to ask what we will be doing in induction, and all he would say is 'It is an activities and visits week'. Aaargh! That has scared me even more! What on Earth could he mean by 'activities'???
I know what the visits are, and I'm worried about them, too. But, my main worry is this 'activities week'. I'm so shy, not at all confident, and have poor physical fitness.
I'm really doubting if I can go.
The thing is, though, I have very limited work experience. This means I've struggled for the past year to get a job, and haven't got anywhere near getting an interview because of the holes in my CV. So, I feel I have to go- this is my last chance to have a career.
But I really can't face all that bother at induction.
Help!
