I'm doing well, all things considered. My face is no longer swollen after the last episode. I think I dislodged my jaws. Could it be? Anyway, that's not important. I'm reading various posts in the forum, and I found that you, Whoswho, are beginning college. Getting adjusted to a new environment and changing routines and habits is very stressful to me. I, too, am starting school, in a new school, as a teacher. I wanted so much that position, and now that I have it I seem to not be able to tolerate happiness. I also found a new math program that I think will help much, both my students and myself.
Let this adventure be the wonderful dream it can be. Not the nightmare you fear. Try and find something college related, but not difficult or stressful. Have you met your teachers yet? Your schoolmates? If possible, find something to do together: i.e. finding books, softwares, whatever you will need when classes start. Mostly, find and keep contacts with your mates. I wish I would have valued that more when I was young. I think it's "normal" to be frightened at the beginning of such an experience. Share your worries with someone you trust. I wish you all the best.
Thanks for this!
