Dealing with changes when you have anxiety

...See more I just turned 18 last month & I have social anxiety. I graduated high school a year early bc I had no friends & I hated it there. Ive spent the past year wasting my life away in isolation. Rarely leaving the house. I know this has to change, & Ive been trying to make my life better. I have to get a job soon, its really not an option, I need money. Ive never held a job before. I worked at a couple fast food places, but I never stayed longer than a couple weeks mainly bc of anxiety. Im trying to get a job now & Im actually doing okay. I had an interview Friday & I actually went which is a start bc in the past Ive just flaked on any interview I got. But I went. & I have another interview coming up in a couple days. Soon I will have a job & thats a big change which kinda overwhelms me. On top of this, I plan on starting college in January. Yet another big change. The thought of all these changes has been overwhelming me & ive been having anxiety attacks over it. Just stressing over little things like I always do like how my interview will go & if Ill pick the right classes. I dont want to take on too much at once. I dont want to make my anxiety worse & I know how stressful college can be. I think Ill just start out taking two classes this semester, that way I wont be too overwhelmed & I can still get some college experience. Taking only two classes seems kinda slackerish but I have to think about my mental health. Anyways Im kinda just ranting, emptying my head.
