For now I've decided to stop following 2 courses that are going on right now. They're pretty short and I don't feel like following them (they're both not very interesting and I don't feel comfortable in either of them). In my free time I'll just work on "my own" stuff, for now that's making some...

Thanks for the response. Yeah I'm not sure how this happened ladyforsaken, it just didn't turn out how I expected. Also for practical reasons it seems like a bad idea to finish this studies, because it basically means a "worthless" diploma (at least to me, because I have no ambition to become...

Hi there, it's been a while since I've posted here but I really need to vent. So, about a year ago I had a couple of panic attacks leading to social anxiety within my social life and especially within my studies. 2 years ago I decided to attend an art school, a year later I switched to another...

I do but I hate it. I get a reasonable amount of messages each day, I have a couple of people i stay in contact with every day, but still I keep checking. Actually, it's not "waiting" for new messages, usually it's just to get out of awkward social situations, like in an elevator, or a busy...

I guess so. Yeah I'll look into a different psychologist, and yeah I don't feel "ready" yet to have something romantic going on. It sucks but I'll just have to improve until I am. I know that what ifs, the "she's checking you out" thing happened loads of times and I always hate it that I can't...

Just a short piece of background info. I've never had a serious relationship, I'm 21 now. I've kissed girls and I've had sex, but never love (and to be honest, intimacy without love isn't that good at all). Also I've been suffering from social anxiety for the past half year or so, I've improved...

I think the girl might have just been too nervous. I haven't read everything in detail, but I have some advice I can give you. First of all, don't always focus on your negative sides. What is positive about you? Are you good at something? Are you intelligent? Creative? Nice? Do you see...

Might be time for a little update. I'm doing very good now. In the past month I've made huge steps; I can basically do everything in my daily life again without being anxious. I took it step by step and it worked. My studies have suffered a bit but I think choosing for my health over attending...

Just had another "panic attack". Well it wasn't that intense (which I think is quite positive), but it was a bad moment. We came together with all students, from both our department and the department we collaborate with. We came together in the exhibition space where we'll present our work, got...

So I've been here for 5 days now, and everything is going well. I like the city and haven't really experienced any anxiety. On one moment it was there, but i spoke to my teachers straight away and it was all allright. Actually I have some interesting news to share, last night I went out and I...

Thank you! I'll probably post some updates while I'm there. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks for the support. I'm going to Poland tomorrow, I'm kinda nervous, but if I want to my teachers and those 2 classmates can support me, and I guess it's better to just go and see what it brings than worry about it all the time. Thanks again people :).

I had the presentation today. Actually 5 teachers and a lot of students (also from different years) were there (my department is fairly small, my year only has 9 students), about 25 persons in total. After preparing my work yesterday in the presentation space, I was extremely stressed out. This...

Time for a little update. Spoken with the therapist again and I think it's getting somewhere, I won't go to deep into it because that will basically mean I'll have to tell you my life story. Also the physical therapist gave me some exercises and tips, they really help a lot to at least calm...

The attacks or just the whole "problem" I have now? About the attacks, I don't know exactly what it is but I just feel much more aware of myself lately and I don't like that at all. Somehow it just scares me to have everybodies attention on me. I never had these problems before, I've been in a...

Thanks for the support!

Christmas was nice. I haven't been thinking about my problems so I mostly had good days, a few bad ones during the christmas break. I'm a bit scared of going back to school next week although we'll be working individually mostly. I'll keep you posted on everything. I do feel better now so I'm...

Thanks all. Feeling quite a bit better now I don't have to go to school during christmas break. I wonder how I'll cope with christmas, I've experienced some anxiety during my grandmother's birthday so I wonder if it will happen during christmas when my family gets together. I'm also a bit scared...

So I saw the psychologist today, she gave me some tips and in the beginning of 2015 I will start with that therapy. I hope everything goes better from here on out.

First of all, thanks for the support and the tips :)! @ sothatwasmylife, I've also been thinking about that. Wednesday I'm seeing her again, she gave me 2 weeks time to think about if want to do that therapy I talked about (I am going to). The coming month or 2 I won't have to go to school...
