Hey everyone I'm new to this whole support group thing but so far it seems very good. So I've had anxiety for about two years now and I've had to drop out of school which meant failing my exams and I've been in college for four weeks now and I can't seem to go in to class. I've been in to actually college before a couple of times but not for very long. The longest was two and a half hours and that was because no one could really pick me up. But I did learn to use college bathrooms okay. But if my mum was waiting outside I could probably do it because it's like a quick way out I guess and I want to stop relying on my much because don't want to go through life being a mums boy. Anyway I just can't seem to go in and stay in class and my mum is getting angrier with me when I don't go in and she has said that she has gone to sleep on a couple of occasions worrying about the next day and I don't want that although I don't think it was a guilt trip. When I get anxious I normal get a hot flush sometimes fell sick but not as much now and my stomach kicks off like I need to go toilet.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Stand, have you been to a doc or therapist for all this? Does sound like anxiety. ALankay

Yeah I've known it's anxiety since pretty much the beginning off all this I mean everyone told me it was anxiety. I've also been seeing a therapist for a while now and my therapist has helped but she is telling me with college that I just need to go in and face it and she is probably right but I'm struggling to do that with college it's a lot easier to do outside of college like going out somewhere like going to a high street near me I struggled last time but I did it and I feel good about it and I really want to go college but I'm just wandering if anyone has and tips that I could use like I know breathing helps and positive thinking helps which I should do more in the sense of college but I'm just wandering if anyone has any advice.
Thanks
