Panic about starting my Masters degree

[littlewaternymph]

I just started my Masters today and already my panic is spiralling out of control. I just started worrying about the work and exams and keeping up and the fact I'm having to commute on every day rather than living on campus and now I can't get the feelings of panic to subside.

I feel sick and I'm shaking and I really don't want to feel like this I'm only 21 and don't want this to be what the rest of my life is like plus my poor mum is so upset seeing me so distressed.

Any tips or thoughts?

It's going to be worse for the first few days, but eventually you'll be able to feel more settled once you've got more of a routine going. Can you make use of the commute time by either relaxing or studying?

hi
there are many ways to beat this condision .
I have had panic attacks for 12 years .
I tried everything but it came down to me standing up to myself in the end .
You have to belive that you are stronger than the attacks .
I know they are scary and I know that you fell like your dying , but your not and they do pass.
Try to let it pass over you like a wave , the attack will happen but the more you fight it the worse it my feel .breath deep and try to let it pass .
this may help you as well http//tinyurl.com/2w5ngap
