Best of luck to you atomicc! BTW, what are you going to be studying?
Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone! I'm usually pretty good at making friends in all my classes so hopefully people in a new school aren't super unfriendly!
And I'm going for my masters in clinical mental health counseling.

I feel like this, too. I'm in the process of trying to get a place of my own, and I'm not feeling confident that I can handle it. I'm 27.
It's upsetting to me sometimes that things that are just a way of life or..right of passage for others, cause us so much dread and apprehension.
We CAN handle it though, we just need a little extra strength to do so. Good luck to you as well, Zwangsstörung!
