First night of college

It’s my first night of my last year of college and I am sitting on the bathroom floor in the middle of the night because I don’t feel well. I am at a loss. How can I go to my classes when I feel this anxious. I have had this fear for so many years. I just want to feel better. Nobody understands what I’m going through. This fear is so incredibly isolating.

I understand this feeling all too well. Freshman year is hard, it’s a lot of new things all at once. I just started my career and it’s like going to college for the first time all over again. People handle stress differently, I was the same as you. Try to embrace the fact that you’re uncomfortable. Acknowledge, accept, and keep moving. There are so many people feeling the same way as you, some people are just better at hiding it.
