Hey Sarah, Hope things have been better for you lately. I too have anxiety issues. I could not believe how much anxiety affected my ability to learn and do well in my classes this past semester. I found it really hard to be at a university and be able to meet work and school expectations while being sick. I started taking an antidepressant in January and it was very helpful. I still did not trust anyone to the point where I didn't even what to talk to anyone. Luckily I had a few close friends who I didn't tell everything but I could at least talk to. Now that it's summer my social anxiety has been better and it's been very helpful to be away from college. Having migraines brought on by social settings doesn't help and I have been avoiding these situations.
I hope the summer is treating you well. I try to remember that 'everything has not gone wrong' even though it may seem that way. I find it helpful to think about how life could be worse. It always could be worse.
