Hi there Lexa and welcome your post is fine!

I never went to college (it isn't as common in Australia) but I've read quite a few posts here from people finding it difficult to cope with college. I think it's partly because anxiety and other mental illnesses surface in the late teens/early 20s, which is generally college age. Mine was diagnosed at 19yo and I had to defer from university for a year because I couldn't cope at all. No way would I have handled being at college during that.

Anyway I hope you find some support and friends here

All the best,
