Starting college
I start college in a couple days and Im already having panic attacks about it, I will have to go by myself every morning and it gives me much anxiety. Im scared Im going to have a panic attack on the bus and have no one around to help me. I get super nervous and anxious about everything but this one is big and Im really scared

hello
im starting too, just a little later. My fear is getting a panic attack in the middle of class. Ive noticed the closer I get to my first day the worse my anxiety gets. Ive just told myself once the first day is over the second shouldnt be as bad. Ive had panic attacks in public before & survived. I just have to keep reminding myself. Instead of going to the worst case scenario I try to fill my head with positive thoughts...maybe Ill get As. Make new friends. Ill be a step closer to the career that I want. This is just something Ive found helpful. Hope this helped

thabkyou this helped knowing Im not the only one going through all this. I just wish I had friends and family around to help support me
@Me112
youre not alone Ive been up half the night unable to sleep with pretty much the same thoughts. Feel free to message me if you ever need to talk. On your way to class maybe try to plug some ear phones in & just listen to your favorite song, book or a meditation recording.
@Me112 I feel similar. I have a small number of friends from outside school but do not have supportive family. I might be starting a relationship which is exciting but also I'm afraid of putting too much on her.
