Beginning to think the amount of people who actually care in this world, even a bit, is extremely limited. Even the seemingly nice people, when push comes to shove, may have been conning you (and even themselves) all along
Guilt is NOT the same as caring. Doing things to make yourself feel like you're doing good is NOT neccessarily the same as actually giving a damn

This is what I'm most afraid of! I'm in college and still haven't gotten around to telling my lecturers that I have anxiety (which has affected me more than I expected it to in class). I'm reluctant to let them know in case they just think "so what? Boo hoo," or "why are you telling me this?" and think I'm looking for sympathy marks or something.
I was advised by someone in the college of who I could talk to to let my lecturers know for me, but still - scary! I have to figure out what type of support I expect to let them know too - not that I have any clue what I need!0 -

Is there a counselor in college you can talk to and then work from there? Best of luck
Thanks! There is a counsellor, but I've been on the waiting list to see them for weeks.Good news....interview went well. Was nervous at the start but once I settled in it seemed to be fine. Mind you, I took 4 valium an hour before, which probably isn't the greatest idea; as now I fear I might begin reliance/habit forming behavior.
At least you did it.
Well done! 0 -

I had to do this very thing myself before MissyMoo. I would say it'd be best to contact your tutor or course year head. This can be in person or over email. I went with email myself. I just explained what the situation was. She was very understanding about it all. She advised me to go to the office and fill out a mitigating circumstances form. The forum required a doctor's letter explaining my condition. It was all very discrete.Good news....interview went well. Was nervous at the start but once I settled in it seemed to be fine.

Thanks! I'm going to send an email now. I'll be sure to go back to the GP to get a letter in case I need it! 0 -

Oh my has today been a struggle. It's only my second day on medication for anxiety so it's not surprising at all that they're not really having any effect.
It's so frustrating being in a job in which you know you have the ability and the potential to excel at, but you can't because of this horrible handicap. It's such a struggle to focus on anything when you're riddled with anxiety and paranoia. The person who I have the most sympathy for though is my account manager because she has to put up with me. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold to be honest. I've even started listening to Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" again. That's always a bad sign.
Mind you, that's not saying anything bad about the album though. It's actually a fantastic album, and is certainly one of those "must listen to" albums. I'd recommend it to anyone! 0 -

are you finding the course difficult, the work and/or the human interaction?
Yeah very difficult the first few weeks, just had a week of, but when I simply get a consistent sleep schedule going my woes will be dealt with. Met a nice girl I quite like the look of on it, so that is one motivation

listened to a track off it there. brings me back!
away to listen to more music now.
depending on what meds you are on it could take a while for effects
and it will vary for each person but im sure you know that.
hope tomorrow goes better for you. good luck0 -

Suppose binge is over nothing can be done.
All that can be done now is to put up the feet and let the digestive system go to work.
So, let us pray. We are gathered here to mourn the passing of the cake to its new life....0 -
