Hi there. I can relate to what you're saying. I attempted Uni this year three hours away from home. I've had chronic anxiety since I was very young and it ended up being too much for me. I've since deferred until next year. My plan is to take gradual steps to prepare for Uni, so when I get there next year I won't panic and end up returning home.

Are you currently receiving emotional support? Counselling? The reason I feel I had to drop out was because I felt my anxiety problems would miraculously disappear once I settled into Uni. Not the case. Setting up support early on may help and letting the university know that you can have MH problems. I should have told my Uni this. If they know you have problems they can support you.
