Howdy everyone, hope everyone on here is well and doing great. I have a bit of a problem, It's my first day back in College tomorrow since the Beginning of December. I've taken a few weeks off due to my Panic attacks and my depression being a lot worse. I'm nervous because I'm thinking that I might be getting a Panic attack because the College is so big. I'm also worried incase people ask where I have been and I don't really know what to say. I'm catching a Train tomorrow for the first time to College because I was no good on buses, I got terribly anxious and I had my first Panic attack on my bus. I'm no longer having lifts anymore from that Girl I told you about. I'm also getting stressed because I have quite a bit of work to catch on, due to all the stress I haven't been able to focus on the work because I haven't been able to function properly due to my Panic attacks, and also because I came so close to committing suicide not too long ago. It seems like I've forgotten everything from where I left off. I'm really nervous. Sorry everybody, but do you have any ideas?
The College is quite a bit away from my house, it takes about 45 minutes by car, and 90 minutes by bus due to all the stops. What can I do if people ask me, I don't so much if tutors ask because they know because my mother had told them everything. I'm also nervous incase I see that girl I've been on about, I just have this feeling that she's going to try and start an argument with me because of what my friend had said to her.

I can give you some advice about the panic attacks. (Mine started on public buses also.)
If you have access to a Whole Foods or natural food store there's a natural remedy called Bach Flower stress relief. It comes in a little yellow spray bottle. I like how discreet it is. Anyways, I'm not sure if its placebo or what but its been what gives me immediate calming during a panic attack. And you can get addicted like with meds. Also, I recommend before you get into a stress inducing situation, do some cardio to get rid of lactic acid and literally exhaust yourself. It's more difficult to get anxious after exercise. Hope that helps a little bit with your panic attacks. Good luck in school! :)

I have done some exercise lately, I now go on bike rides every sunday for a couple of hours with my dad. We go up mountains which usually leaves me tired, however we've had bad weather which doesn't make it as enjoyable.

Bike rides, good! Bad weather, no good.

I actually love the terrible weather here. Today it's 10degrees blizzard and we've gotten 3 ft of snow. I put on my snow gear and walked 4 miles total in it. It was so amazing! And the best way to completely clear my mind. I just went into survival mode and forgot about why I was depressed when I woke up.
Hope the weather clears up for you so you can get back to your exercise.
