i get so anxious when thinking and talking about college to the point where i have attacks and throw up and lay down and not take care of myself for days. My friends are all excited and i don’t know how to enter the conversation with them work out freaking out. I was ganna clean and bathe and brush my teeth but not anymore. laying here seems so much easier

      I'm sorry it's hitting you this hard. When something is that overwhelming I only think of 1 piece of it at a time. Like, ok today this piece of paper needs info ( do not think of why the paper needs info, just fill it out) one baby step at a time, Do Not look forward, just one piece at a time. I would literally think ok now just put your clothes, I can do that. Then how about brush my teeth, ok I can do that. Ok now put food in a lunch box (w/o thinking about why the food goes in the box). This is literally how I have to get through that shit. Good luck, n God bless. ❣️

        @StarLight1 PS I'm 60. So I've had a long time too find tools. You too will find your way.

      I get it. I’m starting my senior year in college and I am dreading it far more than I am excited, even though I love my major. Managing the workload on top of mental health, starting trauma therapy, and all of my physical health issues is really nerve wracking. Not to mention I don’t have the mobility aid I need to be able to manage my symptoms. I feel for you 💕 I don’t have advice, but you’re not alone

      I feel the same about college honestly. Me and my family decided that for my mental health it would be best to do an online degree program for me while I stay at home. When I was still thinking about going away for college it helped to think about the fact that I had friends willing to room with me.
