I went to a uni open day today. It was fantastic and I am sure I want to go there next september. It's just, I can't imagine it ever happening. I got anxious getting there and it was only an hour away. The thought of living away from home makes me panic. Most of my anxiety revolves around getting physically unwell and being sick. If I get ill at uni, I will really panic if I am away from what feels "safe" to me, which is at home with my family.

But then again, I am currently back at college and a year ago I would have said that it would be impossible.

I feel tense all of the time, especially my stomach muscles which contribute to stomach pain and in turn makes me anxious and not want to leave the house.

I have a psychologist but she's away for three weeks, and I need to learn how to live with anxiety, how to put things in perspective and how on earth I am going to manage at uni next year.

Dont really know what to do.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
