Why do i get like this at school? and how do i get it under control???

Question

it was my first day yesterday, and i got really anxious, i just thought wow im going to have to be here for another two years, sitting there i got really nervous, all i wanted to do was leave but i sat there and had my little panic attack and made it thru it. Why do i get like that? and that was just a small class of people, im wanting to go to a university i know when i get in a class room with like 70 + people it will be ten times worse, and it wont help that i wont know a single person. any advice?

Answer 1

happens to me too, its anxiety. being scared of the uncertain, being worried about things you don't know.  they have medicine for that, but if it gets bad, just try to breathe under control, and if you have to, just get up and ask to go to the bathroom and splash some water on your face, and stretch your neck and shoulders, and just say to yourself "i'm ok, i'm ok, there is nothing to be scared of".  it has worked for me before.

Answer 2

anxiety. yup. maybe u are just like me. dont like more than certain amount of people in 1 room.

should see me when i have to go shopping. lol

anyway, concetrate on breathing and ur subject. that way u are less likely to think about who's around u. otherwise, seek some help from ur family doc.

Answer 3

Cheap and easy - music is important to you, so when you start feeling stressed, replay a song you really like in your mind. It'll help calm you. Remember that not all people are as they seem. Most people are not nearly as self-confident as they would have others think. Remember thaat you are a person of worth and that you have much to offer. You are obviously stronger than you give yourself credit for. You'll be fine.
