Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

So I after two weeks of attempting the drive and sitting through class my anxiety levels shot up so much!
During my way up to school (an hr drive) I had to pull over numerous times and wound up throwing up bc I was so nervous/anxious. My thoughts would get the best of me and the few times I actually made it up to school I was worn out, sweaty, and freaked.
I sat my parents down and I told them I could no longer put myself through this. What is the point of wasting my hard earned money on school when i wouldnt be able to make the drive or sit through class? they do not like this or support me...they think it's all in my head.
I know I am making the best decision for myself at this point in my life. I need to heal and gain confidence. I want to be able to drive with no worries and live like a normal 23 yr old girl! I am in therapy and taking meds AND exercizing as much as possible.
I'm really upset that i gave up and anxiety + depression won. i never thought i would let it get this far and affect me to this point.

My son went into a severe meltdown his second day as a freshman this year. Friends had to help him to the school office. He had trouble last year, but not like this. He's only 15 and dealing with terrible anxiety. I've enrolled him in online school for the remainder of the year.
