I suffer from severe anxiety and I feel as though it just paralyses me. I'm currently in my third attempt at completing year 11.. through distance education. I can't go to mainstream school because it terrifies me. Being at home for school, I rarely leave the house and I spend majority of my time sleeping, all to avoid anxiety. Will I ever be successful in life? I feel as though I will never be able to go to university or be in a relationship or get a good job because of this stupid anxiety!!!!!!!
Is there anyone out there who feels the same? Is anyone remotely successful despite their anxiety?
dear Emily, anxiety is the pits, and having to school at home can be good or not.
Are you able to leave the house and see your doctor, and let's try and see this as a hiccup in your life, because once you are taking medication this should improve your chances of being successful.
I have anxiety but take medication so I can leave the house and do my shopping and pay bills, those just never stop. L Geoff. x
