I need to miss a class today to go home from college , but I am so anxious. I have a friend in the class who already said she will send me the notes, and we dont have anything due. I know this material well already cause im far in my major and have talked about the information we are learning today in two other classes. My professor doesnt even take role and people skip that class all of the time. I just get so paranoid for no reason. People skip classes all of the time and they are fine. I'm skipping one 55 minute class and it should be fine but i feel like I am going to have a panic at any minute. Like my half of my brain says its obviously gunna be fine and the other half says that if i skip this class i am going to flunk out of college. I just really don't know how to stop this and i don't want to have a panic attack but im scared i willl. Especially not when i have a 2 1/2 hour drive home. I'm just really scared.
If no roll call.... And most get away with it, relax. I'm sure you will too.
• Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
• Hold your breath for a count of seven.
• Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
• This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.
This should help you relax. Take care and prayers for continued success in school.
