Toxic people

I had just realized that my school put me in the wrong Spanish class and just now got my schedule changed. In order to take my Spanish I had to drop photography and take journalism (something I don't want to do) and change my theatre class to a different day. But in my new theatre class there is a guy I used to be in love with and honestly I can't handle being around him because he makes me have panic attacks and makes my self esteem go down a lot and he's honestly so toxic in my life and I don't think I can handle it. I thought maybe this year things could change from last year but everything is the same. It's like my life is a constant loop.

@anokaystart I'm incredibly sorry that your school schedule didn't turn out like how you were wanting it to turn out this year. It is very unfortunate and stressful when that happens I completely understand. Would it be possible to find the same class with a different professor so that you can escape the toxic person that is currently in your class? If you would like to talk about this further I do specialize in "College Life" and if you would like to talk further feel free to send me a personal message. :)

@Sierra2018 they said it's too late to change my classes. My class is taught only on two days and my original one was the first class but now with my schedule changed i can only take it on the second day. I'm really stuck with the classes i have right now.

@anokaystart I am sorry that you are dealing with this situation. I hope now that it has been a few days since you posted this that things are better. Sierra2018 said it best when suggesting talking to someone about possibly changing the class or professor. Have you learned any coping skills for your panic attacks that can help when you are around this person that is causing you anxiety? You can message me anytime if you need to chat about what is going on. If not me, we do have many amazing listeners :)

@CaringTeresa they told me i can't change my schedule and honestly my only coping skill i have is just to not even look at the person. It's not a good one but i haven't been forced to talk him or anything so it works for now. If I do have to interact with him I'll just have to keep the conversation short and try to move on. Thank you for the help though

@anokaystart I know that it's hard to keep studying and attending the class that we have no interest in it, it is frustating to see how very limited university can be in their class choice. It force the student to take the class symply take it for the credit not because they like to take the class.. Also, Have you consider talking to 'student advisor'?,maybe your university have one but bassically their job is to talk and solve the problem that the student face. they can also change the class if they think it's necessary... I hope it might help in some way
