It helped me realize I wasn't alone, so I hope I help you realize too. School is starting back for me in less than 5 hours. (I've been up most of the night) and I've always struggled with school. Ever since about two years ago, school just got extremely hard for me. It was so hard just to focus. I have really bad social anxiety, and you may have that too. I would always feel eyes on me. I was never comfortable in my own skin. I even laid out of school for a whole year and tried to hide myself from the world in my own room. I hope you never do what I did because even though I thought it'd help me, it didn't. After that year of laying out of school my social interactions were worse than ever, my fear of school was even worse and I almost lost all of my communication skills.

You aren't alone. I'm still struggling on going back, and the thought that I have to go back in less than 5 hours really makes it even seem doubtful that I will. Just don't give up. Take me as an example and tell yourself "wow, I don't want to end up like that"
Thanks for your message. I'm glad we can both feel a little better knowing that we aren't the only ones struggling. I know that feeling when it feels like everyone is watching you. I hope school today went well for you. I'll tell you the same thing you told me; don't give up. Talk to me anytime if you want.
