First day at college
Tomorrow is my first day at college and it has been weeks since I started experiencing anxiety because I fear everything about it and I think that I'm completely mentally incapable of making friends and being sociable.
Whenever I have an anxiety episode I feel more lonely because my mother thinks it's all drama and I'm just trying to draw attention to myself meanwhile my boyfriend thinks it's just an excuse and doesn't try to help me at all.
I don't have anybody left and these thoughts are killing me. I wish I could find a way to make these tears stop along with my nausea and headache.
@carefulCup6915 The first day of any school is scary! Please know there are listeners here including me who would love to talk to you tomorrow and help you in this difficult time. It's normal to have these nerves :)

My first day at Uni is on Monday and I'm so anxious. I'm not even sure if that is what I want to do anymore, but I know it is just the anxiety and depression speaking.
Group projects are a great way to be forced to meet new people. Take advantage of it. It sounds like you don't have anyone to support you and emotionally, you need that. Find someone that you can connect with, build mutual trust through your meetings, then maybe start seeing them individually. Then at some point when you feel comfortable, open up to them. Talking on the internet is one thing, but having a physical person to talk to is significantly more helpful.
