Well it's time for me to start college again, I'm commuting and I'm going into my sophmore year. I'm getting pretty anxious because this semester I took on a lot more classes. I had a hard time last year with sitting in the classes because I would get so nervous. I feel fine if the teacher lets everyone talk and its a chill classroom. Whenever we would have group work I would feel calm because I'm a pretty outgoing person so I feel comfortable when I'm able to talk, but when I have to just sit there and listen to the teacher lecture, it's very hard. One of my big problems is worrying about if I need to get up and leave because I feel so nervous. I worry about everyone looking at me and if the teacher will say something and make it a big deal. I know I shouldn't care about what other people think, but I really don't like anyone knowing I have anxiety.
Any tips on how to get over this? I want to feel calm in my classes and be able to concentrate.
Also if anyone is in college with anxiety and wants to talk about how they're getting through it, just send me a personal message :]
