I want to add my 2 cents. I worry about looking stupid in class or wherever, but it doesn't always keep me from speaking up. Sometimes I'm willing to guess, but I'm constantly thinking, Will the professor think I'm not as bright as he probably did when I first came to class (because I take lots of notes, and show up on time and have other good habits, I'm afraid I've set up a standard that I really won't live up to)? Will the other students think I'm dumb? Will I think I'm stupid? I have failed to do what I'm supposed to do, and part of it is because of my OCD and panic disorder, but I don't want to make it known (except for a select few) that I am something they wouldn't consider me equal.

I procrastinate sometimes, but when it comes to college work, it's more about my OCD, because I want to wash after I touch the books and stuff, and I need to stay "dirty" while working since I'm handling my books, papers, etc., until I get done. I'm just hesitant to "push the button," so to say, to get dirty, do the work and get cleaned up.
