Dealing with an anxiety disorder when your in college? |
Dealing with an anxiety disorder when your in college? I have severe panic attacks, I too am in college. They are caused by most anything, social mostly, and doing presentations scare me into a full blown attack. I also have anxiety and perform OCD like things before my classes. Its all associated with school. However I just started an anti-anxiety med called Lexapro (there are many others though) I have been on it for over a month and have been panic attack free since. I would talk to a doctor or psychiatrist though before beginning any drug. I feel your pain though you arent alone, and don't give up on college like many people with anxiety do. Just know your not alone. You can email me anytime if you want to talk. Learn the breathing techniques. take a course in anxiety and phobia. Worked for me. RN TALKING with your friends and helping each other go thru shyt together I had that same problem in school. I was given effexor and it took care of it. I felt so much better. I got it from the campus health clinic. Finding a significant other that understands you, and supports you, and holds you, will work wonders. I find that I have them more when I'm alone. Don't let college overwhelm you. Take on the attitude that you are in control of your destiny, and that you will eventually make it 'cause you want to, and aren't going to give up. Never quit trying, and take each day at a time. See, if you can find someone in the same boat as you, and help each other. Have fun, if or when you aren't doing home work. Worrying about things, aren't going to make things better. If you don't get everything perfect the first time, do it again. Always do the best you can. And have fun as much as you can. Life's too short to be unhappy. Get a cat. It'll love you unconditionally, and makes a great companion. Take on an extracurricular activity that you enjoy, like painting, art, photography. Get involved in the green movement, and make lots of friends, full of positive ideas. With all the doom predicted, now wonder people are depressed, and are having anxiety disorders. |
