Anxiety support

...See more I just went back to school. Started this week actually. I’ve been at this community college on and off for 5 years now and every time I go back my peers get younger and younger. I’m at a place now where I don’t let it bother me as much as I just turned 24. But I usually get anxiety around this time when I’m going back trying to do better because I have family that struggle with mental health who get triggered when I go back to school and I’ve internalized it and am anxious of when they will go off like a ticking time bomb. I finally got a new job and set my schedule around school so this time I have no excuse and I feel confident. I also made it so that I’m not home much to keep my distance from negativity and being asked for too much. I would love reassurance and kind words as I don’t have many friends or much support.

23 and lost

...See more I’m 23 years old neurodivergent and I feel totally lost in life. After struggling with my Associates for FOUR years( not because I’m not smart but because of toxic family), I quit and started a new program at a new school. Now after just one quarter, I am quitting and planning to move out for mental health. I did so well last quarter and the faculty love me and want me to stay and offered to help me find resources to leave my toxic family. But I want to leave all together and find peace of mind. I fear nothing will change, if I don’t physically separate myself from my family. How do I cope with future me problems like adjusting to the new city/state? Will I ever heal? And how do I cope with the damage done to my psyche? How do I stop the voices that tell me I’m making the wrong choice? I have big thoughts and feelings hitting me all at once. . A lot to prepare for the big move. I have no energy right now and am in a depressive episode. But I thought I’d reach out to my community for advice or even words of encouragement. Thank you for reading.
